selectset 7000 monogon disassembly

[tekcontrol]

Does anyone know how to remove the monogon for a Selectset 7000, I saw several screws and I´m afraid to screw it up.

I ran a 7000 for some 7 years and was unaware of the term monogon. Why do you want to remove this?

If that is the front surfaced mirror, it should be removed only by a trained tech. But if that's it, that can be cleaned in place, once a service tech shows you how. You will need special pre moistened wipe pads.

If that's not it, perhaps someone else familiar with the term will know how to advice you.

Al: I´m talking about the motor that rotates the mirror.

Al: It´s the spin Motor.

As a former AGFA Field serviceman I strongly DO NOT recommend you to remove the spinner by yourself.
The spinner for SelectSets comes for replacement as installed in special "bed" where the spinner mechanically pre-adjusted.
Any motor removal off that "bed" can cause negative effects later: pillow effect or parallelogram effect on images; even trained FSE avoided any extra manipulations with the motor, working only with the Spinner Assembly to be replaced.

Thank´s for the Answer Vlad, But I have no chance, the spinner motor is not rotating it sounds like something rusted in there. So I appreciate any recommendation you could have.

tekcontrol, spinner has an aerodynamical bearing inside, not ball-bearings. That means good polished cylinder as a stator and good polished rotor inside that cylinder, and tiny gap between the stator and the rotor filled with compressed air, created by special impeller of the stator.
When spinner reached nominal speed (rpm), the rotor does not touch the stator's cylindrical wall.
We call that moment - rotor lays at the "pillow" of compressed air, and in that stable conditions the spinner can run thousands hours

Any small extraneous particles in that gap cause the motor to be "wedged", and your attempts to remove the stator could scribe the cylinder badly...
That's why we never dismantled the spinner and every time replaced the Spinner Assy as a FRU (field replaceable unit)

Vlad: Thanks again for the Answer, there are no good news, anyway, could you help me to try to remove the Spinner motor with the "Bed" just to see if there´s something to do outside the Spinner motor?
