Assuming it's a 120V/240V motor connected for 120, can you check to

Hmm, you might have something, there! This motor is probably 15+ years
old, and has never had anything done to it. Could corrosion and/or
loose connections account for the lack of power? I can certainly try
cleaning and tightening anything I can get to.
Thanks!
check the brushes and commutator.
