HMV 101 - motor greasing advice please
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 10:39 am
Hello everyone.
My HMV 101 was 'grinding' and 'bumping' while winding it up.
I opened it up and added oil to the area I have highlighted in the photograph below
I did this because I don't have any grease at the moment and I thought it might temporarily improve the problem and therefore indicate where the problem is.
As luck would have it, this has completely solved the problem and winding is now very easy and smooth. So no spring problem.
I was a bit puzzled by the area I put the oil into. I poured it into a small opening in the metal but noticed that there was also a screw there with a short piece of wire going from it to some-where else. My question is when I get some grease do I try to force it through the small opening or do I remove the screw and if so why.
I should have taken a photo of the area for more clarification but I hope that this makes some sense so far.
Thank you so much for any advice you can give.
