Otari oil holes??

[Doug_Olitsky]

Does anybody know if the motors (reels and capstan) in a BII2 have oil holes or some kind of oil access points?

I just realized that I never looked nor does the manual mention it. Or are sealed bearings used?

Cause in the manual on my B2 and B3 it clearly states the only thing needing oil is the capstan motor bearing itself. I have the service manual for the B3 and it doesn't mention any other lubricating either.

yeah, I read the section on oiling the felt collar on the capstan.
