By the way, I noticed that your site only looks at the 9V motors. Have you
ever dissected or tested one of these 4.5V motors?

Never... yet!

Just by the way, back in those days LEGO also made a 12V technic motor that was
the same size as the 4.5 but came in black. I actually used to have one that I
got in a sealed box (!), and when testing it with a train speed regulator (12V
grey big block) it ran nicely - however after a while it ground to a screaming
halt; I guess an approximate 12 years of shelf storage were not the best one
could do to the bearings. Any attempt to open the motor and reanimate it failed.
Too bad, really.
As for the 4.5V, I think there were several (at least two) interesting gear
boxes available - one even required shoving the motor into a second housing. I
got to search through my stuff what’s still there. While I have plenty of 9V
stuff, it’s sometimes nice to have the old 4.5V pieces around.
Regards,
Jerry
