<DIV>Harold is correct if this is an air bearing head, and more importantly, it
can be seriously damaged by turning it without air.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The nameplate will have an MI- number. Give us that number and we can
tell if it is air or ball bearing, 5 or 10 mil.</DIV>

put up recently. He then brought me over to the engineering closet and showed me <BR>
something I hadn't seen in around 20 years; a case with an RCA headwheel <BR>
assembly.<BR>
<BR>
It looks fairly intact, but the motor doesn't spin freely. Probably too many <BR>
years in the humid Florida weather. It had a sticker indicating that it had been <BR>
refurbished by... (CVC??? I don't remember, the company owned by Kodak. I know I <BR>
saw a lot of those labels before)<BR>
<BR>
Is it just an artifact to be admired, or should I implore the company to have it <BR>
refurbished for some greater good?<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, it was fascinating to see one again.<BR>
