[flywheel]

Not sure if oiling motor or other bearings has been mentioned, but best do that asap before use as they'll likely be on the dry side.

Oiling the motor bearings is really tricky though - needs a fine long-reach pipette or similar. The capstan motor's not too difficult, but the top bearings of the reel motors are a pain to get to (I usually remove the reel carriers to do it).

A fine but not too fine oil of about SAE20 seems best for this, but I use SAE30 for pinch rollers and idlers because of the low rotation speed and sideways thrust on the bearings. (There may of course be other views on lubrication!)
