> (1) If the motor is a universal motor

I could temporarily try (an ill-fitting) 0.22uF and see if that gets
it back to factory

Sounds like I may need to strip it right down, check the windings,
brushes etc. Wasn't ideal to work with but I used it for as short a
time as possible to clean up a couple of welds. Didn't seem to run
any worse after that so hopefully I've not done any more damage,
if it was if fact damaged previously

Bit of a nuisance as it gets where a bench grinder can't but could
probably get by with it as is until I feel like buying another.

> (2) If the motor is an induction motor (less likely?)

Given the size, speed and noise it's probably not
