Spent this AM servicing a few prewar motors, the Flyer 1096 and a pair of Ives 3251's:
Long stories on each, but the 1096 (top) is a family heirloom, one that has likely not seen track-time in more than 80 years. A bit of clock oil along with a judicious squirt of control-contact lubricant/cleaner got it running, albeit quite roughly. Anyone know how to crack one of these open for a thorough cleaning? No screws in sight, and I hate to think bending tabs to remove the shell is required.
PD

Sadly, bending the tabs to remove the shell is the only way to do it. The tabs will likely handle 1 removal/reinstallation only, so be careful and make sure you service it properly, while having the shell off. You should be installing new springs and brushes and repairing any wiring that needs it, as well as re-wheeling if needed.
