I have a 20 year old D&E 3.5” WTC with the adjustable Jackshaft to adjust ballast displacement size. It’s in a 1/72 scale Permit. It was used a lot for years but it has been on a shelf for seven years. One day I said to myself, I need to put this thing back in the water. I checked out the WTC and .... it still works perfectly, everything, motor, motor shaft seal, servos, ballast system, cup seals, everything. It’s even water tight at a depth of 10 feet for 24 hours. I was amazed!
I just wanted to thank you.
I would like to replace the o-rings just for my own piece of mind, I’m concerned that at their age, new movement might cause them to leak (they are a bit on the hard side), what size are the bulkhead and vent o-rings.
Thanks again for doing it right. It seemed a bit pricy when I bought it but it’s one of the values I invested in. I wish I could get that kind of performance from my 401K!
