I like the sound of that one for my "E".  I've already disassembled, 
cleaned, and relubed the motor (paying strict attention to those 
bearings and bushings, getting rid of the years of old crusty grease).  
The belts are from Victory Glass so they should feasibly be the right 
sizes.  AC wiring throughout has been replaced.  I think this motor just 
gets "weak" with age.  Not knowing enough about AC motors, I can't say 
for certain.
