RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: BEI encoder replacement

Well, I tried a new bulb, and only B channel worked. I took it to a friend and "expert" who broke the glass scale. So I am taking the whole encoder out and trying to figure out how to quickly replace it with a Avago (HP) encoder. That's why I wanted to find the person who had done this before.

I once found an editorial where someone replaced one of these can type BEI encoders with one of the new, miniature all solid state encoders. They had a complete pictorial on how to do it, although, as I recall, they didn't tell much about the bearings and what kind of hardware they had to use to adapt. Does anyone recall this article, and where it is? I'd love to ask the editor some questions.
