    Hello All, With all the recent talk about flex shafts not working
    properly, I have come to realize that I have been neglecting mine,
    but I'm not sure exactly how to take care of it.  Is there directions
    written somewhere on how to lube the shaft and check/replace motor
    brushes and whatever else may need to be done to help keep my flex
    shaft in tip-top shape?  If not, would someone be willing to write
    some?  Please? 

    Also, my flex shaft (Foredom S with #30 handpiece) has never really
    run "true" - more noticeable at slower speeds.  Is there a way that I
    can correct that, or do I have to send it in?  Think the problem is
    in the handpiece or shaft? Unfortunately, I'm sure it's already past
    the warranty period. 

Thanks a million!
Anastasia
