The bearings are supposed to be lubed for life but I guess as things go 75 years or so could be a lifetime. While it is not really recommended, rather than disassembling I have read of people carefully drilling a very small hole directly on the end or top of the bump and using a needle applicator to add a drop or two of oil at the end of the shaft. If you do that be careful not to drill deep or add more than a drop or two as too much oil will leak out and cause issues with the brushes and commutator.
