| While working on the motor blocks of an old RS-3, I discovered the chrome pins in the universal joints are not a press fit and could drop free. Apparently the red substance that holds them in place may let go over time. See the red arrow on the left.
They can be fixed in place with a small dab of J-B Weld epoxy. The excess can be wiped off with a finger tip. See the red arrow on the right.
The next time you have the motor blocks of an FA-1, U25-B or RS-3 open, you might want to check the pins on both ends of the universal joint are secure.
