[R-390] Veeder-Root counter

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Man, this Veeder-Root counter mechanism binds hard in spots. I don't know 
if this indicates a very new Veeder-Root, or a very old one, or if this is 
just a bad example.

Brian,

The counter should run just as smooth as the rest of the RF deck. If after 
clean up and lube it does not run smooth, then its time for a replacement. 
You can give them a bath in soap and water. Then lube with synthetic oil. The 
paint mostly will stay on with soap and water. A round in the dish washer 
may or may not remove all the paint.

Look for bent parts that may be binding. Back when the device was 
considered not repairable. It clean and lube did not get it then it was replaced. 
Today you may have to invest the time to save the device.

They did go bad. The plastic wheels would wear so bad on the shafts, you 
just could not get the device to dial smooth. They would also brake a tooth 
and thus not dial. Some would then jam on the broken tooth and lock every 
thing up.
