Default Re: Uher Royal de Luxe 10,000 Severing Tapes

Still running well.

While comparing it to my Uher, I noticed that my Pinch Wheel hits/fouls the rectangular metal piece below the pinch wheel, when Stop position (the normal idle position) is selected. It is quite a hard foul, but the pinch wheel can be rotated with some effort, whereas normally it will spin easily (when not fouled).

On my friends Uher the pinch wheel does not get fouled because the metal piece has a curved/radiused small cutout. The cutout does not look home done, so maybe Uher implemented the change in later Production builds.

I must check my other Uhers for this, maybe it is time to get the file out, because it cannot be good for the pinch wheel to be left in this fouled condition.
