Great video and I agree - start with the piezo's. One of the things I tried originally was measuring the signals on my scope from the Encoder PCB. In december I made a new test cable and instead of plugging into the Encoder PCB - I plugged into the Pwr board directly. This has the encoder...

Did some work recently then had to put aside. But tearing into it again. I'm trying to identify the signal between the main box and the display for incrementing the shaft. I have a slightly newer machine as well now which is working. Trying to get this one going though. I'll update more when I...

My board is different than yours.

Hey so sorry for the late reply. I had to take a long break from this project and am hoping to start back up soon. Were you able to fix it? I'm planning on taking apart the power supply board as I was wondering if there were issues with that. I had thought that the previous owner did some work...

I took the hub apart and did all kinds of things. I am now waiting on a new belt. I took the old one off and it was clearly out of round. I could notice it when manually spinning the hub. I took it inside and let it warm up for a few days then put back on and it worked for a small while. So I...

Sorry for the late reply - just noticed this. He ended up buying a second machine to try to swap components to narrow down the issue. But...the new machine has a newer version of the encoder / codestrip. He swapped all the parts he could (most were the same) to see so basically narrowed it down...

Just closing the loop here for other searching. It ended up being the socket for the main chip. Solution was to remove chip, desolder the socket and solder the chip directly to the board. Working perfectly now.

Hello, Buddies "eewb502A" balancer keeps giving him a loose hub error when it's not loose. The bearings were going and he ended up replacing them thinking the error would go away and it hasn't. He's tried tons of steps from the service manual but can't seem to figure out what's going on as no...

you probably figured it out. But if not, do you have an image of yours? Mine is a 5060ex so just want to make sure it's the same or that you still need the help before I go around and do that

Okay...so update here. I ended up tearing the machine apart and refinishing it as something to do while I was stuck at home in the hopes that cleaning up all the electical wiring / mounts would fix my issue. Fast forward until now and I ended up having someone take a look at the board and they...

Great point. I've got a lot on the go right now. If it happens again I'll pull the board and try that as my next course of action.

I took a look at the board yesterday and everything appears to be good. I didn't put it under my microscope. The only thing that didn't appear great was the thermal paste on the heatsink from 2 - LM317's and one other chip. I scraped away the old paste and reassembled with new paste and then...

Hello, I have a Coats 1001 wheel balancer which was working perfectly for the 9 months that I've had it up until now. I was in the middle of using it a week ago and was on my second tire when the numbers on the display ended up all lighting up and staying lit. They are 7 segment displays and...

Hello, I'm at the point of doing a "hail mary" trying to get the artwork for recreating the last remaining labels from my Coats 5060ex Tire Machine. I bought the machine recently and have been restoring it over the winter. I'm on my last few labels and can't find images on line to use to...

Thanks for the replies! Good info for sure. I'll have to look into it once I start the project back up!
