[GreenKeys] MITE question

[Nick England]

I hauled my MITE KSR (AN/UGC-41) off the shelf recently and spent a little
time getting it running OK - mainly cleaning, lubing, and making up some
cables.

But having never seen or heard one of these things before I'm wondering if
the motor operation is normal or not. It just takes a few seconds to spin
down after power off - recognizing it has none of the mass like a M28
motor/gear set, is this typical or not? I couldn't find any motor lube info
in the manual. Gears seem OK, etc.

It has some gear noise but I have no idea if these things are supposed to
be dead quiet or wail like a 747 ready for takeoff. Actually I don't think
it sounds much different from the one on this YouTube video.
