10ee_mouse_00.txt Here are a couple pictures of the base of my Monarch 10EE, specifically in the motor compartment. A mouse had started to build a nest there, thankfully never finished. The DC motor sucked up the fibrous debris into the screen. Thankfully I have maybe ½ hour of spindle-on time since buying it….left alone this could cause big problems. -Matt Isserstedt mattofvinings@aol.com 19Aug2005
