Hi there, just discovered this forum and can't wait to spend some time looking around
I have 3 Featherweights, two 221s and one 222k. I haven't spent much time with my 222 but decided to take her out of her case today to give her a little tlc. I wanted to grease the two motor ports but the one closest to the belt is blocked and clogged solid.. not even possible to put a pin into the hole
. How on earth can this be remedied? Can it even be fixed?
One other problem - I have removed and checked the motor brushes and both are fine on the 221s, but with the 222 the spring doesn't budge and I'm afraid if I pull too hard I might cause more of a problem. Any tips or advice? TIA.
