You got to rebuild them. The brass plain bearings are now well worn from your description. Change them out and it will go another 25 years.

Quoted from 4Max:Thanks, Steve
Any advice on where to source the parts? And any previous posts/pages where it covers procedure. I have struggled to find anything with my googling!
Thanks
I have detailed how to a few times most recently, today on how fix one of these open gearboxes. See link to https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/williams-58-short-stop-from-the-pike-amusement-area-in-la/page/2#post-4049215. Post #51.
Steve at PBR sells a placement kit that probably includes all you will need. You have to call him, tell him your spec # off the motor and he will question you on whether you are up to the rebuild task. 
If you are, do it like I do If you fail the test he will do it all for you in pretty quickly. I have old motors I take the good parts from and have a few new plain bearings from kits.
Good luck.
