Archive of Thread: SA-201 Motor for Studio Machines Back

6 years ago
I have three SA-201 motors for my Studio machines.  I've never had issues with any of them in 30+ years, but now finally developed a problem.  First, the problem child developed a very bad squeak.  Second, at the same time, the belt looked "floppy" inside the railing.  We were able to tighten the belt via removal of the end cap on the non-cage end of the motor.  It stopped the belt from flopping, but the squeak remains at the cage end.  I called my repairman, but he doesn't recall how to get the end cap off of the cage end side.  Does anyone know how to do this?
