[GreenKeys] Creed 6S reader with sluggish motor

[Jim Backus]

Not sure why the motor should be stiff to turn. I'm not aware of motor 
lubrication for Creed machines but the mechanism it drives in a 6S 
reader does have lubrication points. Check that the governor slip ring 
is clean that could cause motor problems if it has not been run for a 
long time
