ROTK was just a pain in the butt to lift on and off the AW3.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-11-2004 06:23 AM                     New axles and new removable brains. (You could save a few bucks by only purchasing the removable brain plate and then transferring the rollers and such over.) The axles can be exchanged with only 4 bolts.  |  IP: Logged Mike Pennell Expert Film Handler Posts: 150 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 02-11-2004 09:32 PM                     I'm currently doing the same, saving money by ordering parts that are necessary and reusing the old. Get your bearings locally, alot cheaper. Does anyone have the part number for the u-shaped bracket that goes on the filter assembly or do you have to order the whole enchilada. The manual only lists the whole filter assy. according to the tips page its the filter cam part 7 [ 02-12-2004, 01:07 AM: Message edited by: Mike Pennell ]  |  IP: Logged
