AV repairs

The machine will start very slow. There is only one motor on this
machine. Initially there is very little torque and low speed. After
about 30 seconds or so the speed and torque increase however it never
reaches full speed. The tape runs slow. I have lubricated it and there
doesn't seem to be excessive play in the bearings nor is it binding.
Does anyone know what would cause an AC motor such as this to exhibit
these symptoms? This motor was used in an old Ampex audio tape
recorder manufactured in the late 1950's. I'm in desperate need of a
replacement or repair information for this motor. The label reads:
Howard Industries Inc.
Festus Missouri
Loyd scruggs Div.
115V 60cy.
Model: 28125-2903 .7A 55W Code 1061
Does anyone have any information on it such as RPM.? By chance, does
anyone know who can possibly supply this part? Any information would
be most sincerely appreciated. Thanks.
