How are the rubber mounts between bedplate and motor, and between upper works and bedplate? Are the gears lightly greased or just oiled? Have the conical bearings on the mandrel shaft ever been disturbed, especially turned and/or moved in or out?

Well.......an Edison Home (Banner case), that is. I've tried most of the tricks and can't seem to quiet it. The noise seems mostly associated with the pulley shaft and it's associated gears or bearings. But.......everything looks true and the machine has had very little apparent use. Maybe it has had very little use from the beginning precisely because it's so dang noisy?!!! I'm usually pretty intuitive about this stuff, but I'm ready to humbly call for the wisdom and experience of all you out there. What am I missing?!
