CMC4

2007-11-26 by Hessel Herder

Hi guys,

Occasionally,my Tron appears to be a bit wobbly all over the keyboard,even after warmup,just playing one note,any note.It even seems to be a periodical wobble.This would be the CMC4 acting up I presume?

Cheers,H

It's all down to motors that are 25 years passed their sell by date with worn plain bearings and old style motor controllers. The pairing up is a disaster.

---I'm not an "expert" but I had trouble with my servo at one point, giving the wobble
effect you describe. I cleaned the tape head that was reading sync information off the
motor gear- it was absolutely covered with crap. After that my tron limped along famously
for years before Mr. Korb completely healed it. BTW I think I have cmc2 on #390

---I'm not near the studio right now but it is right next to the motor in bettween the
motor itself, the wooden mount and the belt pulley. If you don't have one then our servos
are different, I will look for some photos.

I'm surprised that it doesn't have a CMC-10. I was expecting a much lower serial number.

---Yes I will, it's in another computer photo library so I apologize for the delay.
Mine is a servo motor 2 that was installes in the 70's by Sound Sales- maybe yours is
different and doesn't employ the tape head. Any one else on the list know what I'm talking
about?
