Reply to "Pittman motor question"

The motor runs fine despite the noise. When I position the motor to run quiet, it does not run any faster it just gets quiet.

I took the motor apart and I don't see anything wrong. I did notice that there are 3 washers at each end of the armature shaft. For grins, I moved one washer to the other side of the shaft to slightly shift the armature in the housing. I was theorizing that shifting the armature might match what happens when I move the motor around. It seems to be quieter but not completely quiet.

Moving the washer back, makes the motor squeal like before so shifting the armature does affect it.
