Still a) Not wrong and b) No idea how it came up as a current post earlier today . . . (I assume that the sitte can get that right . . . )

The www "misfeature" hardly defines the Internet . . . It's far, far, more than just that . . .

You should not need to! Every sintered bronze bearing motor I have seen has had a felt/fibre pad surrounding it, and that pad is soaked in oil. They do dry over time, but can be rewet, restoring the motor to like new. Granted, the pics here really don't show the brarings very well, but the large...

Likely not if you lube it correctly . . . .

On the wife? :-)

At this hour, the wife snoring! :-) :-) (The last on the system, Supertramp Paris . . . )

I seem to recall DigiKey showing tariff amounts on offshore sourced parts, and I am not seeing that on these, which may be the most accurate indicator of being a US made/sourced part of all. (Or perhaps current stock is located in the US.)

Noice pic! And you remind me that it's been a while since I have needed to be in mine . . . I spaced that. :-) (And was mainly channeling "no belts" after just having to clean/lube/rebelt my Tascam CD machine load mechanisms . . .

Yup . . .

This last pretty much sums up the situation currently in the US. The only "violence and hate" I ever see (that is *actually* violence and hate) is the butthurt reaction(s) from some when they are told to pound sand when the suggestion in the prior meme is rejected. They are also delusional...

Of course the Studer variant (A710) with balanced IO and rack mount was even more . . .

. . . . testicles on a fruit fly . . . . :-) :-)

I don't recall specifically, but I recall drooling over them in 1985 or so, and I vaguely recall $2400 or so (waaaay out of my range then . . . ) (Looked it up online . . . showing $1995 in 1983, so I guess my memory isn't all that bad! :-) )...

There is always the joy of working on pure surface mount . . . 0402 and 0603 series resistors and such (al least to me) feel like replacing the testicles on a friut fly, bit it can be done. :-)

The best thing about the B710 is the chassis/mechanism. No sliding stamped sheet metal that lets head alignment shift. The deck is cast and machined metal, and the head "carrier" is kind of a Y shape, with the heads on one end, and two precision bearings on the other points, so it smoothly...
