The only fix I've ever seen is to pull the motor, and replace the crappy
sintered metal bearings with small ball bearings. It was a relatively easy
mod, some drilling and cutting, and a few pop-rivets. If you get it before
it has made noise too long, the shafts won't me messed up, but the longer
you wait the more likely your shaft will be chewed.
I used sealed ball bearings in each one I've torn open, and I never had
another problem with the motor. I've had the transistors fail on the speed
control though. A Radio Shack transistor (I think it was a 2N3055) works
fine as a replacement.
