...or rather disregard the last part, if you give the lubrication points on the motor one (!) drop of oil then run the motor warm, it will hopefully reach the bearings. One drop will not dribble along the motor axle and harm anything. You might add a second drop after a while if you don't notice any change, if the wicks are very clogged and gummed up it might be needed. The motor always improves after a clean up and lubrication. The conflicting advice relates to the copper conductor parts, to let them be or not; some recommend to leave them untouched if possible, a safe method is to use erasing rubber. Some have sanded them down on a gridning wheel, and the motor still turned, but it's on the harsh side.
