Vexilar Problem: doesn't hold bottom...

[Guest]

My 10-year Vex seems to be having a problem with the motor that drives the LED display. Bottom continually moves back and forth by about 5-6 feet. At first I thought this was being caused by a weak battery, but got a new battery and it is getting worse every time I use it. I suspect the motor is going as I hear a wierd noises when this is happening. Can this be repaired???

TIA,
dave

Odds are good it is in need of a new brush kit. They run abut $15 if you do all the work yourself, but it requires a fair amount of soldering.

You can send it in to Vexilar and have them look it over and service it, should be back in a week or less.

Vex is in Bloomington. If you are close enough you can drop by..They are great folks and usually can fix it while you wait.

Just an idea.....

Vexilar, see what you've been missing

Thanks for the info guys.
Based on your input, I took a look on the Vexilar HSOforum and was able to find the brush kit ($15 is correct). I also scanned the instructions. Looks too involved for me so I will sending it in for service on Monday.

Thanks again,
Dave
