Swash Gen7

[mattelstone]

this may or may not be a problem.. but i've been noticing lately that my gen7 machine has to "warm up" so to speak at the beginning of a session. meaning i have to set my power supply at say 9.5, and it sounds like the machine starts off slowly, and then starts getting faster and faster until it hits a consistent hum at what 9.5 should sound like.

has anyone else noticed this? is it even a problem? should i be keeping an eye out for another rotary for replacement? just curious.. i'm very new to rotaries.

So what was the reason for this problem? did they give any??

i ended up replacing the main bearing with a ceramic one and it cured the problem. it was not hard to do and was about 20 bucks
