[R-1051] Tools, and first assessment

[David Wise]

I bench-tested the motors in the RF module and the 1MC module.  The former seems okay, but the little gearmotor in the 1MC needs attention - the brushes are worn down and the bearings are squealing.  It appears to me that with some soldering and finagling, I might be able to remove the baseplate, and then get at the motor.  Is this the best way?  Is there a modern substitute for the brushes?

Thanks,
Dave Wise
