[sdiy] Roland RE-201 motor lubrication?

[Harry Bissell Jr]

Most sealed tape deck motors have
sleeve bearings made of some permanently
lubricated bronze material.

Usually the noise / grinding etc means
the bearings are worn out.

Lubricating them would be a really
temporary measure at best.

This is general info from an ex-tape deck
repair person, NOT specific to the Sapce Echo
