Post Subject: Micro HS-80 flywheelPosted by measet on: 9/14/2017
I found locally a professional mechanist, also I discovered a reliable supplier who can deliver me at relative low-cost the L316 raw material, so I'll start the steel platter project soon.
I just read some post in this thread regarding HS-80 flywheel and I would like to share my experience about it.
I got an original one from Japan in fantastic, mint condition but I'm totally disapointed regarding its performance.
Prectically is impossible to match it to my RX-5000 system.
Without the flywheel the speed of turntable is dead precise but the system breaks when I connect the HS-80.
I have to mention that the flywheel alone running smootly and stops after long time.
At start I help both platter by hands to speed them up but takes minutes to reach a certain speed level which finaly is unstable and uneven.
I followed many intructions regarding setup like both string (I have Micro one) must be equal lenght.
Also I tried the option what was advised here, that flywheel must be at the same distance as the motor and for adjustments has move the motor NOT the flywheel.
I played also with tension, the situation is better when treads are very-very tight but still far from ideal.
Now I have doubt that this gear was developed with intention to support the RX-5000.
Please let me know if you have any idea how can I force my HS-80 to perform well.
Thanks a lot!Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
