I used a pipe cleaner with rubbing alcohol and cleaned the plates.  is the rubber grommets supposed to keep the bottom separated (not in contact) with the chassis? mine is not. Also the rotor shaft grounded - i don't know whether mine is - it rotates and is held in place with metal springs at the ends.  I don't know how it would be grounded but thru contact with the metal box it resides in?  i'm checking my photos to see if i can detect something from those.  Thanks for your help.
