I have not looked into it, but if the tacho is
producing a slightly too
slow or fast signal, because of the not perfect diameter, would there
not be a trim point to adjust an amplifier that drives the reel motors?
Yes their is. Your supposed to use the special skew tape to set it
but setting it with a written tape probably will get it close enough.
I measured 3 of mine and there all over place.
Thanks. .015 difference probably isn't that significant. I'll try 1.83.
Vacuum switches
This is the biggest problem with the TU10. But we've repaired them
ourself.
How long does this last? I got 4 new switches so I'll try this for the
other 4. I like saving money.
Blower
It
is noisy, just like an old vacuum cleaner.
I expected the vacuum noise when running. What I was referring to was more
of a grinding/scraping noise when turned by hand.
Do you plan to keep some type of online log on your web
site?
There are a lot of things I plan to do. Hopefully this weekend I will
actually create a page for it. At minimum I will docuement what I repaired
and how. This will be the most complex restoration I have had to do. I'll
post when I have something up.
