Air-X Service Experience

[Joshua1]

I have now taken apart and cleaned my Air-x where the sliprings were full of coaldust. The positive ring hade a groove in it. I dismantled the sliprings and grinded the surface smooth. The othe two I just polished. No need to change circuitboard and no need to dismantle yawbearings. Working fine again.

After a month or so the same problems occured again. Now its shows the same symptoms even in the shortcircuit mode. Will change the board I got on the warranty last time.

After all it was the same problem once again. More dust that had to be cleaned out. No need to replace the board. I have no explanation why it was full odust after such a short time.

Hello.
I have similar experience with my Air-X 400.
I need new set of brushes and sliprings w/cable for plus and minus.
Where can I get these spareparts?

regards
Kjartan

I have now replaced my sliprings after experiencing the same thing once again. This time the sliprings had such deep grooves in them that I had to change them. I learned that original parts are only availible as a whole kit whit the yaw bearing assembly included. My supplier here in Sweden had a chinese copy of the sliprings for a fraction of the kit price.
