Hey Bernie, thank you, That's what I was thinking with the grease.....a interesting movement though, excited to dig into it. I do see several spots that need bushings.
Tukat, the wires are loose inside of the motor (one actually came out) I was not able to determine where the wires would be soldered in place. So as an experiment, I had a old beat up motor exactly like it (not a synchronous motor but similar) and tore it down just to see if there are things that can be done to clean/rebuild them. What I found out is yes....you can....but only so far (at least with my abilities). By removing the cap and the pinion on the other side you can remove/clean and oil the shaft that you are talking about where you put oil (this is on this motor). The synchronous motors are a bit different, somewhere I had found a process about how to go about refurbishing those but I cannot seem to remember where it is. Well, better run, have a great day, William
Have a great day, William
