Thanks for the replies from people about lubricating my old PSH Model =
E-205 wheel. I phoned and was told those wheels were started =
manufacuring 30 years ago, and stopped about 10 years ago. The bearings =
and motor are fully sealed and require no maintenance. Good to hear. =
Even better, the noise I was hearing was a piece of loose wire on the =
floor that somehow got twisted around part of the flywheel support and =
was catching as the flywheel turned. That was an easy fix.

It's a good old wheel. Other than the fact that I cannot stand up to =
pot because the flywheel is so large, it works well and is comfortable. =
But I am going to look for a large round plastic dishpan to put on for a =
scrap basin instead of the huge basin that is on it right now. It would =
be nice to sit a couple of inches closer to the wheel.
