The other day I stripped a mint 'growler' for spares. Having the drive sitting around for a couple of days curiousity got the better of me and I had to see what made it tick. What was Wolfgang thinking back in the 1960's? While not a difficult block to service it is overly complicated as regards the gear train. The later 2100 drive block (around 1970) is simplicity itself.
Some parts were used from the growler in the 2100 block (wheels and power pickups). Once reassembled the drive ran amazingly smoothly, but alas, new grease does not cure that gear train howl.
