I'm afraid if I did that, I would need new gaskets and have to replace the oil and who knows what else. It's working so nicely now, I'd hate to mess it up. Haven't found much about this motor, certainly no information about rebuilding it or any pictures of the insides. Maybe nobody has ever had to rebuild one...

I have found several instances where folks have built a magnificent cabinet around their Super motors. If I were a cabinet maker, I might consider that. I'll probably end up playing with it for a little while longer then offer it for sale. Don't think I'll ever see another one.

I posted a video of this machine playing to YouTube. Very quiet.
