If the motor only made noise and died without smoke or signs of really serious overheating, it may have survived. Check to see the motor brushes are of at least minimum length and not sticking in the brush holders. Check the governor contacts, sliprings, and brushes. If the correct fuse was installed for the motor, it may have done it's duty and protected it. Check the resistors in the motor and governor circuit, the overload might have fried one of them. Free up the keyboard before re-installing it, the governed motor is designed around a reasonable and fairly steady load as part of the speed regulation and won't survive serious overloads.

Dear All,
I have kept my keyboard out as it has not been working, but I reconnected it and it caused the motor to turn extremely slowly, and as I was seeing if it would free up the motor made a sparking noise and died. Have I killed the motor or is there some way to fix it??
