problem is not the motor. I suspect you mean the roll drive
motor. There is also a suction pump motor, which usually needs to =
be taken
out and have the armature cleaned. Grainger will have a =
replacement
if it really is toast. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=896334300-11052004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

roll drive motor is connected to a gear box. The gears are the
problem. They are all gunked up with dried grease. If you =
try to
play the piano you will strip out the gears and they are hard find =
replacements
for. Remove the motor and gear box. Open it up and clean =
everything
in kerosene or other carburetor cleaner. Be careful to not =
damage the
plastic or fiber gears. Some will melt in really strong =
chemicals.
It is also possible there is already stripped gears. You will have =
to go
to MMD for info on replacements.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
