 Jerry:

Before you go too far with issues about the bearings and so on, check and 
see if there is a dropping resistor used to moderate the blower speed. 
Perhaps this resistor has changed value over the years.

If the blower has bronze bearings, you may have to soak them with a very 
light weight oil also.  If it has regular ball bearings, you may have a bad 
ball and need replacement.

73 and Happy DXing,
