OT: 1000 year DVD storage

by barythrin＠gmail.com

I may buy one in 1000 years if it proved to last that long. Reads a lot like a life time guarantee scam though. After the main batch of sales the company pays out employees then declares bankruptcy and you have your 1 year lifetime guarantee till they come out with a separate second company with the same name with a 2 and do it all over again. Its clever.

"Lifetime" guarantees [was Re: OT: 1000 year DVD storage]

Power tools are not covered this way, however. Ah, but the great thing about Sears power tools is that you can still get parts for them. I still use the router I got from my dad. He got it in the 60's -- and it was a rebuild then. About 5 years ago, I needed to replace the bearings and thought I'd replace the collet while I was at it. I went online, found the manual with a parts diagram, ordered the parts, and got myself a like-new router out of it. 767 .

RK05 drive foam deterioration and replacement

by Carl.Claunch＠gartner.com

I just picked up an RK05AA drive, unknown condition but it appears in good shape internally. As I was going through a detailed inspection, I touched the foam that surrounds the air duct that connects to the access door on the cartridge, delivering clean air. The foam flaked off and seems to be deteriorating. Not as badly as the foam used in Selectric typewriters, which has turned to sludge after a few decades, but not something I want releasing particles into an air stream that will flow under the heads. Is this a known issue with the drives? What do people who restore/repair these do to eliminate this source of contamination into the cartridge? I would like to address this before I install a new absolute filter. Any tips for a substitute for the CE pack when I get to the point of loading heads and adjusting the drive?
