Help with 401 motor
Just got a beautiful 401a at a thrift for $15.00! Am anxious to try it out after cleaning, greasing and oiling. My question is: are there grease wicks for the motor somewhere or a quick way to lube it up? I'm savvy about the rest of the machine as far as greasing gears, etc. But have little knowledge of motor maintenance - except for the external motors with wicks. Thank you so much in advance!

According to the manual, the motor requires no lubricant (page 89).
