Oh Great Guru's:
I have acquired an #800-1 dynamotor, which is 28 vdc to 115 volts 800
cycles, which winds up to 8,000 rpm.  It turns freely, but I am concerned
that after 60 years the lubricants might be a bit dry, and the first run
could damage the bearings at 8,000 rpm.  Any suggestions for cleaning and
high-speed lubrication?
