As for motors, I had to strip the punch motor in the

...the motor was solid. The bearing oil had turned to something rembling tar.
I recently did that with a Model 19 Teletype motor. The goo wasn't as

"treacle".
Bit of cleaning, bit of manipulation, and a bit of new oil and the
motor spins smooth as silk.
