I'm not taking apart the new 201-3 I got today, the motor is super quiet and I dont' want to mess with it.

Good idea!! I wouldn't either. Add a little motor grease and call it good.

That's so funny that we've each had it happen. It's a terrible feeling too when you're sitting there looking at it thinking "What the,...." You're probably right. I put that little guy back in when I did the rest of the service (cleaned the commutator, degreased everything, etc) and I never did find out what quieted it down. It never did get as quiet as other motors, but it was quieter.

Next time you take one of these motors apart could you post a pic of where that piece goes?

That could be. As I recall, the extra noise could be called a howl. I wandered into the "shop" a few minutes ago, and realised that both of my 201-3s are no longer here. Oops. Just a 201-2 and a 15-90. Not the right motors. If I get another one, I will take a pic. Otherwise, Mike is right about where it goes.
