Billy....if you were here I'd give you the biggest ol' hug! That took care of the squeak! :D We never saw that tiny little valve!
The motor still smells hot, but I still think it's dust burning out of it...I've run it enough today tho that I think if it was going to burn up that it would have by now....maybe not...guess it's a "wait and see" sorta thing!
As for the 9W...if I ever decide to part with it, I'll make sure that you know about it first! :)
