Would like to get whistle assembley out of building but all I see on the bottom are what appear to be rubber grommets. IS there a way to get the whistle motor out to service it???

Carefully unbend the tabs underneath and remove the building from the base. The motor can then be serviced while still attached to the base. When reassembling, only use a few of the tabs and twist those instead of bend. Then if you ever need to work on it again you'll have a few good tabs left to work with.

Thank you for the info, will try that...I just didn't see any way to remove the grommets without destroying them...

My station has a removable roof, held down by 2 screws, that allows me to service the motor.

Al is correct for a normal lube, just unscrew the roof, use a oil dispenser with a needle type point. But if you need to really get at the motor for a brush change or anything more than adding a dab of oil, removing the building makes it much easier to reach things.

I have had the roof off and oiled the armature. The reason for wanting full access to the motor is because at about 10v-12v I loose a whistle tone, if I reduce the voltage, I get both tones.....I suspect the air box isleaking on the bottom.
