nice solid car looks good one

my blower doesn't work, is it likely to be the electrical connection on the top that usually rusts??

As said above there seems tobe two main problems.
1- the resistor plate terminals corode and go open circuit stopping feed to motor (this is negative feed,positive is direct to motor)
2- the bearings dry out and 1st the motor gets noisy then eventually jams before melting the plastic mounts of the brushes/connectors (I have two like this so decided it was better to put a new motor in then try and repair the old)

Looks like a common problem surfacing here.

Any time Taffr ,love to pull the beige rage to bits

Thanks for all the other replies , motor turned up today so rebuild can start.
