It could well be the wipers in the rewind mechanism. The tracks will
need cleaning and the contacts might need to be bent to make a firmer
contact with the tracks.
If it's 10 - 15 years old it won't have the rewind, it's not been out that
long.
Most likely the brushes, might as well change the motor, easy job. Cheapest
