Something to know when you replace the "O" rings.... Most of the time the fast motors have to be adjust for pressure against the "O" ring. You can see the long screw between the fast and slow motor. There are two nuts that you must move up or down to adjust the pressure.

As a temporary fix you can adjust them now but you should really replace the "O" rings.

There are several places to buy the "O" rings online.

Cheers,

Subject: [CWSG] OT: Leslie Tire Question

I think I need new "tires" on my Leslie motors, but I have not worked with them before and have a few questions. Once in a while, when I first power up the Leslie on slow, the upper horn will not start turning. The motor is spinning, but it is not driving the disc with the tire on it, which has the pulley to the horns. The tires that are on there now have a flat, worn looking edge the slow motor shaft bears against. Is it supposed to be flat, or is it just worn that way? (I have never seen a new one)

Next, if the tire is supposed to be tubular and not have a flat edge, can I pull the existing tire off and sort of reverse it so the inner edge is now facing outward to touch the motor shaft? Or is that not possible or practical. I am all new to this and any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Keep the sound spinning,

Lou
