Replacing a small DC motor from a paper collator

Hi all

I am looking to source a specific mini DC motor for a paper collator tower. I have removed the motor, and attached pictures of it. The motor runs intermittently when in test mode, but sometimes sputters (turns a little, stops, tries to turn a little...), which trips the error system. When testing its wires for continuity, I consistently get a reading of 10-15, so it seems like there is some resistance. And, when I turn the spindle manually, it seems to get 'stuck' / find patches of physical resistance, though I'm not familiar with motors and so am not sure if this is normal or not.

All of the information I have about it, which is also on the picture, is:

DC Motor
Type SP
No. FM-36E
China | Fuji Micro
(and on the other side, a sort of serial(?) number: ID24 JSP)

measurements:
- body: 1.5 in diameter, 2 in. length
- spindle: 5/32 in. diameter, 1 in length

The company no longer supports this machine, and does not have any replacement motors. I have not been able to locate it online, and don't know enough about it to know what sort of new motor might work. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much~~

You will need to specify Voltage, RPM, and mechanical interface dimensions.
