Hi everyone. I managed to pick up this L & R cleaning machine from a garage sale nearby for only $40 CAD yesterday (should have went out and bought a lottery ticket too). Everything still works thankfully (someone even rewired parts of it), but the machine itself is quite dirty. It has accumulated a lot of dust on the exterior, and the central column + motor shaft have some sort of orange/yellow residue on them. I want to start by giving the machine's exterior a thorough cleaning, but I was wondering if anybody had advice on what cleaning solution(s) to use. I was thinking of starting with 70% Isopropyl alcohol, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I was also thinking of disassembling the motor housing partially to take a look at the state of the bearing. Any thoughts on whether I should clean the motor housing interior or not? Thanks for the help.

@ManSkirtBrew yesterday was my first day practicing cleaning and oiling. Of course I had to deal with the balance jewels the first one went fine but in case of the second one the incabloc spring came of its slot instead of hinging upward and when I tried to put it back I held it a bit to firmly and it pinged away. I searched and couldn’t find it. Then this morning when cleaning my workbench to prepare for today’s practice I found it. It was just off the edge of my mat and the tiny thickness of the mat had hidden it from my view when searching. Any tips on how to put the back end of those in the slot of the shock system (I call back the part that hinges not sure if that is correct) -

For now at least I will be optimistic and assume that when I buy such a movement they are genuine. Of course if someone was trying to pass something as a genuine ETA for $30 that is something else.
