Author Topic: Norelco DP70 rollers Philip Wittlief Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Chicago, IL Registered: May 2003 posted 07-12-2004 05:28 PM                        The two black rollers after the intermittent on my DP70's are not rolling constantly. They do spin, but the tension of the film usually doesn't keep them moving. What should I do about this?  |  IP: Logged Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 07-12-2004 05:58 PM                     Try taking them off and cleaning them........check for rust on the shaft.

If they don't then a flat spot will eventually be worn on them. So definately clean the bores and if the shafts are badly worn they will either have to be replaced or polished to eliminate the wera if it can be. They should have an exceptionally smooth finish, almost mirror-like to them. Normally the black rollers do not require any lubrication but on occasion I find that it helps a bit if you use a tiny amount of synthetic oil on the shafts. This sort of maintainance should be done once a year to all the DP-70 delrin rollers. Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged
