Hello,
There is an old post about cleaning the brushes and bearings in the reel motors to improve performance (mine are acting strange and I'm sure this will help). It is recommended that one re-lubricate the bearings in the motor. Anyone know what type of lubricant to use, and on that point, any other lubricant I should have on hand for the maintenance of this machine?
Also, I would like to replace all the VU meter bulbs with LEDs. This is because finding the right type (axial), and the correct rating, is a pain in the elbow...not even sure what the correct rating is 6v? 100ma? Anyone have any info on this particular mod? I've already installed the WRONG rating 6v 150ma, and I'm just tired of the whole issue.
Always appreciate everyone's 2 cents!
