Quoted from Artax:This isn't specific to FF, but my shaker motor has already started having this low volume, but high pitch squeal when it is winding down slowly. I have tried 3 in1 oil, that helped for about half a game. Anyone know the trick to stop the annoying squeal??
Shaker squeaks annoy me too. I've tried everything.....spraying contact cleaner, running motors in alcohol to super clean them, lubricating with silicone, gun oil, etc.....I haven't been able to "fix" a shaker once it squeaks (and brand new ones can squeak). From what I understand....its just the sealed ball bearings ..which...since sealed....we can't lubricate if they start squeaking. So, I've either lived with it, or just bought replacement motors and switched them out (which isnt hard to do).
