Carriage Rollers gap Acorn 120 Superglide
-
-
I have hand driven an Acorn 120 superglide carriage onto a different Acorn 120 superglide rail track and the rollers are far-far-far to tight i.e. not enough space between top and bottom roller.
Is there a simple manner to give 1/16th” (1mm??) or so adjustment.
I cannot see any adjustment in a partial strip down of a bottom roller.
I could with a hand file enlarge the roller pin housing hole but is this the only way of adjusting.
BTW: I understand the top & bottom rollers should have no, or very little play but in this case the front top and bottom rollers are to tight.
Regards
Richard

Success..stopped for a coffee, returned & swore silently &
extensively at the machine. Slackened off 4 x carriage wheel
bolts..re-tightened them after find tool to hold lower rollers centre
pin and all is well. Wheels are tight onto rail but not over tight.
Presumably gremlins or even grit no longer acting on wheels. -
A month ago, I uploaded a lengthy Repair Diary video with a fix. Symptom for the elder user was a wobbly ride (common to used Acorn 130’s DIY-installed, or even by Acorn company, as can be seen at Consumer Affairs customers’ complaints of the Acorn 130 model, online.) My repair tip is too complicated to type; and, a reader could miscontrue.
