If the bearings are shot you might be able to replace the unit that holds the bearings and connects to the drum - on my old machine it's a three-armed contraption, bit like a large crank spider.
However, your machine may be non-serviceable in that respect, or the bit might be horrendously expensive.
Worth a look though, cheaper than getting a new machine every third year.
