Electric Motor Bearing Cleaning & Lubrication
By Pat DeWitt

Hi All,  I have a Duo-Art piano nearing completion and I need some
advice on the lubrication of the electric motor.  I have just had the
Holtzer-Cabot motor checked out, including putting in a new power cord,
but I need to know the best lubricant to use for the shaft bearings.
I have removed the large screws at each end of the motor housing and
need to know what lubricant to use to fill the wick cavities.  Any
recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Pat DeWitt
