[HAM] Leslie motors and oiling

[Paul Chandler]

Thankyou John, and indeed thanks to all who have offered advice. Don't 
worry, I am not going to dive in and do something silly. This is why I 
joined this list. You guys know more than I ever will.

 I was particularly interested in the comments about waiting for a week or 
so before the oil has reached all the right places.

Thanks again,

Paul
