I had tried to post earlier in the week and the mail was rejected, but I tried
to re-subscribe and The Robot says I already am, so I am trying again.
I had wanted to see if there was any real consensus (yet) on grease to re-build
a TT PTO (in a Century 21). I have searched the Archives and see all sort of
ideas...some of which are products I cannot readily/at all get in Canada (such
as Mobil 1 grease). Maybe there IS a bicycle axle grease that does the
job..dunno.. but I am leaning toward white lithium grease. Comments?
A query to TT Service got a reply from them that the PTO re-build kit is not
available, so that is out.
I hope the PTOs I have here are not subjected to worn parts and only have
thickened and hardened grease, such that I can make them work I have a number
of TT radios that have landed here and really should be moved on in working
condx.
Otherwise I will have to seriously consider what I can do in the way of a DDS
or Arduino solution in place of PTO.
So the Century 21 I picked up at a hamfest last weekend will be the first one I
try to do without TT kit. Will see...then it will be onward to the OMNI D and
what else I feel must go to a new home.
Too bad we have lost the real good Legacy Care and parts but alas time has
marked on.
