I've never seen one, but that's hardly definitive.

When an old brushed DC motor won't run, a possible problem might be 
improperly seated brushes.  Sometimes when they're stored in damp places 
the 
brush holders oxidize insde, so the brushes no longer slide easily. Also, 
brush springs weaken with time and heat, and this contributes.  The motor 
will run for a while with stuck brushes, but then the brushes wear down 
and 
can't make good contact with the commutator.  If you're unlucky, this can 
result in bad things happening to the com.  If you're lucky, the motor 
just 
stops running.
