Cleaning up my gumball assembly tonight and was wondering if I need to break open the gearbox and clean it? I went through and did it on my ToM, but haven't seen anything on whether I should here, or whether it's even a serviceable assembly.

The motor still spins so it's not locked up, just not sure if I should break it open.

I personally wouldn't lube it.

Definitely not.

Yeah..I left it be. When I took a good look at it, it didn't look user serviceable.
