Yes Don, there is a felt inside. Good idea with the SAE 20 oil. I also opened up the fast motor to oil those felts visually. Any idea on the manufacturer of that slow motor?
Is there felt as part of the motor¡¯s bushings where it is set into the casting? ?If so you can add oil to the felt reservoir and reassemble. ? ?After cleaning light oil of the motor shafts will aid in reassembly. ?Be sure to use SAE 20. ? Hammond generator oil is kind of light for this purpose.

Hi everyone!
??? This week I thought I¡¯d take out the Leslie motor out of my 122 to give them a good cleaning and thorough oiling. Upon looking at the upper stack, I found an interesting slow motor ¨C the bearing had no port hole for oiling like the original motors. I am attaching a few pics in hope that someone in the group can enlighten me and others who may have one of these odd ball motors in their Leslie cabinet. I would be interested to know what company made these and at what time in the Leslie company history.
