I have the older  K line operating colonial house with smoke and swing.. Then motor gear box at first sounded dry .. so I drilled  a small hole and  oil lubed it  . All was fine...

Now when you first start it  sometimes it will not rotate unless you  rotate the armature..

I cleaned it with spray electronic cleaner  seemed to help but  once  again when shut off at time will not restart on its own..  ONCE running it will run fine no noise and smooth... any one have that problem and fixed it ? thanks for the info and help...Daniel

If no one provides a practical repair or drop-in replacement, consider a different gearmotor.  It appears from a youtube video I found that the gear mechanism is running about 20 RPM.

Such a DC gearmotor can be had for less than $5 on eBay (free-shipping from Asia).   Presumably you're running from AC accessory voltage (14-16V AC).  A compact module that converts AC accessory voltage to a suitable DC voltage to drive a DC gearmotor can be had for less than $3 on eBay (free-shipping from Asia).
