No answer but I'd also like to find one. It has a 40 mm square bolt pattern and runs on +5 volts. I have been lubricating mine. The procedure is to remove the four screws that hold it to the board and lift it off. The rotor is then easy to move and a half drop of lubricant can be applied. The sticky label isn't going to allow lubricant to reach the powdered bronze "oilite" bearing. The gun oil I use for my 0.22 target rifle lasts about a half a year before I have to do it again. You want an oil that won't form gum. Watch oil, sewing machine oil, but not motor oil with its detergents or vegetable oil. Half a drop with a toothpick. -- --> A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
