squeaky M101



First of all, please excuse my "laymen's" terms... I am new to the hammond
organ scene, but am genuinely excited about learning and playing my newly
acquired spinet model M101!!

When I first received it (as a surprise gift), I turned it on and there was a
terrible "low-pitched-squeaking" or "whirlling" noise eminating from behind
the cabinet.  I had read about oiling the organ and been informed that it
hadn't been oiled or played in quite a few years (at least 5-10).  I ordered
Hammond oil and proceeded as directed (a few drops in each of the cups over
the scanner (is that what it is called?).  Immediately the problem was
solved.  No noise.

Now, approximately a week later, the noise is back.  I do not want to oil it
again, having read all of the warnings about over-oiling.  Can anyone help
me?  I would greatly appreciate any input about this.  

Thanks!!
