Default Dying Motor on Sears Table Saw?

I've had this table saw for at least 20 years. Lately, it's

wondering if the motor is wearing out, or if I should
check something else.

Thanks,

No one mentioned this, or asked these questions.

Is it a 15A or 20 A circuit? What does the amperage draw on the motor
label read? What else is on this circuit? Add it all up. It could be you
just have an overloaded circuit. Have you added something new recently?
