[Kenwood] TS-940SAT fan help

Just as an aside....
The "copper contact" is not actually a "contact" at all. The motors 
used were designed to have some "side load" applied to them such as a 
belt driven pulley arrangement. Kenwood found that they "rattled" 
without that load, and added the spring to apply that load to quiet them 
down.
