AC Fan motor from 1976

AC Fan motor from 1976

Look at this hunk! Never changed once. My unit takes two Capacitors , which are also original and still reading perfect on multimeter. Fan appeared to be stuck, but got it spinning freely. AC unit turns on and fan starts spinning immediately. But after a few mins, the fan stopped- I used a big stick and gave it a few pushes, and after some momentum the fan spun again. So I’m thinking the issue is the motor?
Removed the motor and gonna get it repaired/replaced.
Just worried about how it would work if I have 2 capacitors. This is a two speed ac unit

Edit: original post

Anyone here with knowledge/passion for preserving vintage AC units?

I have a 1976 Keeprite and I need to do some work on it. Please reach out if you can help or have and referrals! Thank you 😊

AC from the 90s fan not spinning

Can anyone help me troubleshoot? This unit is old and I don’t want to let it go. My mom and I don’t have the means to purchase a new one. I would appreciate any help with this. Is anyone familiar with this unit?
