Hi Group
I'm new to the group and am restoring a 1963 Teledyne R390A. I have a
problem. I'm cleaning all the slug racks and roller bearings and one
of the rack's bearings are frozen tight. They have appaerently been
this way for quite a while as grooves have been worn on each side of the
bearing where it slides up and down the mount. The outer bearings on
this particular rack that roll on the cams are ok and cleaned up well.
I just can't get these inner bearings to unfreeze. That's right, both
sides are like this. All the rest of the slug racks have been cleaned,
reassembled lubed and replaced. This rack has been cleaned lubed and
replaced but I would like to either replace or fix it.
Any ideas ?
Thanks guys...... I used the R390A 's in the Navy and and NSA during the
cold war and Vietnam. What a machine/rig!!!!!
