Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1200 BANGING sound? HELP!

2003-07-29 by B. Alex Pettit Jr.

Try TetraGun oil: it has a reasonable viscocity, is synthetic and with 
a good teflon content.

 I just noticed my E3000 making a vibration sound on each return 
motion of the head. A bit of this oil, actually, a tad more than very 
light, was needed to make it smooth. I plan to wipe it off and reapply 
after a bit of use frees the crud out from inside the sleeve bearing 
on to the shaft. 

PS: Don't forget the  front head rest guide flange ( at least on the 
E3000 ) 

Best,
Alex
