This is a Rotron, but after pulling the motor apart it was clear that
the front bearing has a lot of wear, so replacemen bearings are on
order. Thanks for the pointers.
K9WT: you may recall the previous owner reported that the filament
meter was reading low. Turns out the reason for that is the amp had
been rewired for 240VAC! The change was not noted anywhere and several
steps were skipped so I'm putting it back to 120V. The only issue I've
run into is that instead of the "center tapped" main breaker shown on
the schematic and that JP describes, this one has a regular two terminal
Heinemann AM12 with a rating of "10A 250V / 15A 125V". Since the
terminals have the same brown thread-locker applied as is on all the
rest of the hardware I assume this was a factory substitution and plan
to try it as-is.
