T100a motor - how tight is too tight?
Verfasst: Mo 14. Aug 2023, 21:36
I'm working my way through the T100a that I found at Ham Radio 2023 - all is going well, there has been only one explosion
When removing the now expired lamp supression capacitor, I needed to turn the machine by hand,but found it very tight, I removed the drive motor, and I find that the motor is quite tight, question is, how tight is too tight?
Certainly needs more than a finger and thumb grip to turn it, which seems wrong compared to other motors, but this is the earliest model I have, so I do not know what is right.
Can anyone offer advice - I do not want to be destroying a good motor by missing something important.
Thanks
Sean
