This one is pretty cool.  Are the tmcc reissues quieter or does it also make a mechanical roar?

Mine runs reasonably quiet, but the little vertical motors will never be like a can motor.  There is certainly that Pulmore growl as it runs.

You need to use oil, grease won't lube the nylon bearing. Be sure the axle bearing get some oil, too. and a little grease in the upper bearing, where the ball bearing is.

Both of my TMCC models run like a top, never saw any issues.  I agree, proper lube does make a huge difference.
