Re: Misaligned contact points

[frankr]

quote retiredoz:

So I yanked the flywheel off my dead CD-25 to find the points corroded, but only on the 1/3 or so of the surfaces that actually make contact. They seem to be aligned OK, but the surfaces meet at a pronounced angle. Is there a fix, anything I can bend or tweak to assure full contact ? Or do I just need to find a new and better set of points ?

"Full Contact" should not be your goal. In fact, your 1/3 contact sounds good. If you are into cleaning and polishing them, you will probably find that you wind up with just slightly convex surfaces—that’s a good thing. The contact really should be somewhere near the center of the point, but truthfully it isn’t the big deal it is made out to be.
