Reply to "Restoration Techniques..."

You don't have to disassemble the whole chassis, but you do have to pull the wheels from one side to unscrew and pull out the brush holder.  Having done that,

Umm, on the drum (barrel) commutator super-motor there is a single screw on the motor side plate about 3/8" from the bottom in the middle of the side plate between the wheels. Remove that screw and pull the brush holder plate straight out. Hopefully there is enough wire on them to get it out, otherwise you'll have to loosen the wire from the wafer with manual reverse switch. There is a brush spring detent on each brush tube assemble to release tension when reinstalling the holder.
