Jim, I have no idea where to locate the stuff, but please, let me know if you find it. I have a couple of items here that could sure use that treatment.
73, Rick/K5IAR Thanks to all who responded with suggestions thus far. The story goes, I have a WRL VFO that uses a flat sided rubber wheel to drive another which drives a big bakelite wheel on the variable cap. Needless to say one of the rubber wheels has a flat spot on it and, more than anything, it is just plain irritating. In years past I worked for radio station that used the venerable Gates turntables with the geared capstan that drove the table. When left in gear, the capstan would quickly develop a flat spot and the station engineer (most times me) would remove the capstan and soak it in a substance that would penetrate and allow the Neoprene to resume its round shape. That is the kind of problem I have with this Neoprene wheel. So putting on my thinking cap, I remembered that transmission treatment fluid contains a treatment for the Neoprene seals in transmissions. But, being afraid that the other stuff in it might ruin the rubber, I opted to ask this assemblage to see if the substance Ronnie mentioned is still available. I am going to try Jim Candala's suggestion, Belt and Drive Non-Slip, first. If it doesn't work, I am in for a trip to the auto parts store and hope the kind I decide to buy really does work. 73 Jim/W5JO ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
