With the plug out, I would think so.  I recall that there's a large
counterweight inside the motor that could have become
dislodged...could be what you're feeling.

It's fun and educational to take one apart, and they are pretty
simple.  You have nothing to lose but an hour or so, and it might be
repairable.
