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.

Anyone any idea of potential cost?

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.
Are you absolutely sure of that speed?

That's approx. the speed a mains electric drill motor runs at. Or really
most AC/DC motors.

Sounds to me that it's most likely the brushes. Open the motor up and
check the condition of them, and the commutator (the brassy bit that
the brushes sit on). You should be able to buy brushes fairly easily
on-line by quoting the motor type/serial number. A motor of this size
will almost certainly be uneconomical to rewind.

I'll have a look, cheers.
