This car has sat in a garage for years, supposedly. I was thinking that a good stiff breeze might be able to free up the brushes if they've gotten sticky on the motor. If I could at least get to the blades and turn them as well as drop a bit of lube on there, I think I could get it going. Then again, it might be a dead resistor pack or even the switch. Either way, I'll get them fixed but that isn't priority right this instant.
