Not well schooled in electrical issues regarding repairs. Have two Porter Cable model 333 sanders. They are about 12 years old. One, on the latest project, started varying its speed and now has made a somewhat loud squelching noise. What am I dealing with, bad bearings or brushes? Should I consider repairs or treat them as disposable? They cost less the $40 new and could be replaced by ones on sale at Lowes for $42.
