Thanks Graham

I have been playing with one of these - it works, but despite the (plain) armature bearings feeling and looking OK when pulled apart and turned by hand, it makes a racket like those bearings have had it, when under power. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to (for example) sit the bearings one one of these in hot oil - not sure if they are plain plain, or sintered. Cleaning and re-greasing made it a little better, but it still sounds fairly horrible.

Just for fun - I don't really need it to work. But it's a nice little thing.
