[Jukebox-list] Animation Motor Rockola 437

[Ron Rich]

Jens,
  Oiling them does help ! BUT, only if done BEFORE, they ware out the top bearing--which I think happens much more often then a gear failure. Ron Rich

  No brushes in this motor....in my experience oiling them never helps, the
animation motors have weak gears that will wear out.

Upside is that they're easy to replace. Victory glass carries them. I don't
think direction is important, but why not get one with the same dircection
and near same rpm. Lower rpm is preferrable to higher (noise!) so why not 5
rpm. A new motor will be more quiet than an original.
And they're not expensive. Why not this one from VG: "36-1864 Color cylinder
motor, right 3 RPM as original $25.00"

But better check shaft diameter etc. Steve or Denny might know what you
need. Or not. :o)
