I recently aquired a Prochem machine which appears to have one of these dodgy motors sparking like mad but loads of life left on the brushes. Seller told me the motor had been replaced a few months ago.

Stripped it and gently wire brushed the contact area but still sparking like a elder so currently running on the other original vac which is surprisingly powerful.
