It can be turned manually with ease.

Has something likely burned out within?
Is a repair likely? If so am I looking at a rewinding company?

Any input appreciated.

It would sound like the windings or bushings are burnt out - I would
think a re-windng company could tell you if it's the windings.

I'll give these guys a try.

Calm down dear.

does it weigh a few hundred grams or half a ton ?

It is 5.summat amp, 0.6 hp, approx 5 kilo.

It is made by Bodine and spins at approx 20,000rpm.
