Two RK07 are owned by me, and both are not in use as I need the time to overhaul and test them.<\/p>\n

Only basics were done, like cleaning the belt, the spindle, the engine and reforming the big caps, followed by charging\/renew the emergency head retract accumulators.<\/p>\n

Afterwards a short power on test was performed, and both drives performed them well.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem is that the belt has not moved over the spindle for the last 20 years or so and both have started to decompose each other.<\/p>\n

Open Issues: Blower Tube needs to be replaced, Spindle and Motor tread\/surface needs to be polished, RK611 needs to be checked.<\/p>\n
