Hi
Found this interesting and glad you sorted the issue. I have recently bought and worked on 1200 to get it working well. Most recently at vertical there was a rubbing sound on play that disappeared at horizontal. Couldn't worked it out for a while, but it turned out to be very small cracks in the plastic housing for the main motor. The weight of the motor stressed the cracks. It probably wasn't the right way to proceed but I Dremmeled off some metal from the motor just to give it a bit more space to circulate and problem solved.
Keep up the good work
