The only thing that comes to mind is that the metal strips are acting like
brushes to connect the power to the commutator of the motor. I opened one of
mine and fear restrained me from entering too far. The battery connections
are direct to the PC board and the two wires from the board supply the
motor. Can you relate the metal strips to the electrical portion of the
motor? If you can get a picture of the parts, send it to me at
rfay@attbi.com and I will try to figure it out.
