Re: Grundig TK 14 Check Out
To clean the FFD actuating lever properly of old grease and the surrounding areas had to remove the flywheel. Wanted to remove the flywheel anyway because when the unit is powered up there is a loud rotational screech for a couple of seconds, which I think may be coming from the rotating flywheel spinning up.
Have seen similar before where the flywheel lower shaft is noisy due to dried up grease in the flywheel lower bearing assembly. When I removed the flywheel there was no obvious sign of the ball bearing that sits in the end of the lower shaft.
Removing the flywheel lower bearing assembly and stripping it down, I found the ball bearing trapped in the side wall within some hard dried grease. So am hopeful that with the ball bearing correctly placed and fresh grease the flywheel spin up noise will be fixed.
