Default Table saw motor clicking loudly under load

Hi. It's me again. I'm still fussing with my table saw after replacing
the belt. The pulley stays in place now, I think thanks to a good cleaning.
But no matter where I position it on the shaft, I hear a loud clicking when
the motor is running. I think (but I can't be 100% sure) that the sound is
coming from the motor and not the saw arbor. If I run the motor without the
belt it runs smoothly.

This is a 2hp motor and a Rexon RW10 table saw. I bought it in 1993.
Do you think one of the motor bearings needs replacing? What's normal for
wear and tear? Sure it's been 14 years, but it probably only sees a few
hours of duty per month. I hope I don't have to shell out $300 for a new
motor!
