Swept Powerfeed on old RTs-What to do?

[PigSweat]

Hey all,

I recently picke up an old RT, one of the ones with the swept back powerfeed. I intend on running both warp and std., and heard the swept back feed was prone to chopping.

Anyways, I previously read that TK said all those who disliked the swept feed had it replaced/repiared. So will I have chopping problems? If so, what can I do? Will AGD replace or repair it? Or is there something I can do?

yea i heard that the older rts with the titled powerfeed chopped and didnt work well. you may get them to get you a new body, im not sure give em a call. and i dont know if the extended powerfeed plug will work with it but u can try, and if it duznt u can always go over the top.

The original RT's where only prone to chopping if they weren't made JUST right. If you've gotten one after all of this time, I would have to assume that it works, because I wouldn't suppose someone would have kept the body if it caused them to chop badly. So if it works I'd keep it, just because it is different. As far as hooking up a warp to it, I have no idea, I've never seen the body style RT and a warp at the same time, I have no idea if the feed tube is longer or what. But Dye is right you can alway go to the top of the feed tube.

The warp may eliminate those chopping problems.

The chopping problem was more perception than fact, we had to change them just to keep the image up. They were used in Europe for years without problems. The best addition would be the new parabollic power feed plug. That should eliminate any issues. You have a collector piece, I wouldn't mess with it.

Will the extended plug work in it, Tom?

[Bad Dave]

It will work fine with a warp, I will get some picks of my old setup.






There ya go.

Well if there wasn't anything wrong with them...

Hm, yeah- I'd keep that body, if i were you.. er, I mean i'd sell that body to me, if i were you
It's a pretty rare piece..



TOM- hmm *idea*.. do you still have those old swept style bodies that were replaced?? perhaps you can sell them on the online store as a collectors/novelty item, a "use at your own risk" kinda piece..

bad dave, he wants to kno if you ca put a long pf plug in the top of the pf tube and hook the warp up to the bottom, you ran it over the top

Pig: If you really want to get rid of the body, I'll buy it off you.

[PigSweat]

LOL, naw, I think I'll keep it.

[Bad Dave]

yes the extended powerfeed plug will work but it is not a tight setup, over the top is the best way by far.
