Title: Vortex spinner problem, missing part?
Post by: Apollo on April 26, 2007, 07:41:13 pm

I'm sure I have lost a piece of my Vortex spinner somewhere along the way of installing and uninstalling it. When I spin it now i spins but the fly wheel vibrates very noisily. Can anyone with a Vortex spinner maybe disassemble theirs and list every part? I know that's asking a lot but I feel sure I'm missing maybe one washer or some other very small part.
Thankyou

You got a picture?

I have a Vortex thats not in the CP yet, so I could compare.

Other than you made yours a "short CP" it is assembled just like mine.

I would try to adjust the flywheel/encoder disk on the shaft and tighten the set screws evenly.

My Vortex is on my Control Panel which is on my cabinet, but yours looks like it is not missing anything from my memory.

I agree that you should check to make sure things are connected properly and nothing is loose.
