Hey guys, I have the exploded view and the parts list, I am assembling it the way it looks on the sheet, but if I tighten the set screws (there are 4?) I can't get it to spin with the spinner top. It's all locked up tight. If I loosen them, the spinner spins separately from the opto wheel. I just can't seem to figure out exactly how this thing goes together. Any help?
 
Ok got it. The shaft was seized tight in the sleeve. I knocked it loose, cleaned them both, applied 3 in 1 and reassembled. It spins properly now. Thanks for the help.
 
I thought you had your spinner issues resolved a while ago, or is this a different one?
When I set up a spinner I like to take out alot of the end play with nylon washers.
 
I dont have a source for the bushing but I recall a post a while back where someone posted a part number of an exact replacment. It may have been from MSC. The washers I use are just nylon flat washers of various thickness that I use to take out end play. You can find them on ebay.

Ok thanks rip. You have any of those opto pcbs left?
 
Well I'll take one. I'm on the road at the moment, I'll pm you tomorrow for the details. Thanks for the heads up MH.
