  1. Fixed! Basically I replaced all 7 o-rings into the same positions. Except instead of 3 smalls at the top, I put 2 smalls at the top and one at the bottom to raise it a little. Drilled 3 small holes to re-position the plastic top shaft holder. Guys you've really helped me out. Sorry I couldn't get the pictures loaded for you. If they had "Like" buttons here for your replies, I would "Like" them all.
  2. Samuel, That's exactly why I bought this Motion Sound. I have a studio 12 and a bigger wood Leslie too but I need piano on all my gigs now. And as you said...1 amp only.
  3. Yes! You are exactly right! I get what you are saying. There were 3 small o-rings at the top. Rats I probably could have just experimented with that, But I took took the horn out. The 2 larger o-rings I think are to hold the bearings in place. The 2 mediums o-rings go at each end. The mediums were sort of melted into the plastic. The big ones I think were doing their job.
  4. Here are the pix at my Facebook site. https://www.facebook.com/167390713749/photos/pcb.10157540309633750/10157540309243750/?type=3&theater
  5. Hey sorry. I'm not getting notification of new comments. Yes I know exactly what you mean about the top cap. The first time I took it out to change the belts, I heard that tapping and could see it was the rotor scraping on the front bolt (there are 2 bolts). As I screwed it together it seemed to straighten up. But by the 2nd gig it was loudly scraping. The band was teasing me. So I took it apart again. The guys at Motion sound thought it might be the 0-rings. There are 3 small o-rings on the top where it fits into the plastic holder you're talking about. Those are not the problem. I'll try to figure out how to post pictures here at Music Player Network...hold on..(.nope it won't upload my pix. Says the phone pictures are too big). Anyway as per Motion Sound I pulled the rotor (horn) off. It was stuck so hard I thought it was going to break. Inside is a shaft with 2 bearings. The bearing go on eache end of the rotor with 2 medium o-rings isolating the bearings from the plastic. The 2 larger o-rings hold the 2 bearings in place. The medium and slarge o-rings are shot. The mediums were actully sort of melted into the plastic. So thats where we are now. The local Grainger ordered the o-rings. https://www.facebook.com/167390713749/photos/pcb.10157540309633750/10157540309243750/?type=3&theater
  6. I purchased a used Motion Sound KBR3D early in the summer. Put in a new belt but the spinning rotor for the horn driver rubs against the 2 mounting bolts that hold it and the horn driver in place. It feels like there is too much play in the rotor bearings. 1/16" would solve it. Someone suggested new o-rings which I found at the local Grainger Supply house. The problem is: I can't figure out how to remove the rotor to look undernieth. From what I've read its a similar mechanism to the PRO-145 or the Pro3x. I could use a hint on this. Thank you, Mike Skory Lansing, MI
