|
|
Barco experts 
Does anyone know how to separate the LC chamber on a 909(I think it applies to 1209 also...they look identical)
The tubes are mounted 90 degrees for sim use, so I wonder how to turn this?
It looks like the rubber belows is epoxied in somehow?
Is it just a matter of separating the bellows from one side or the other and re-epoxy?
If so, which side of bellows do you separate, c-element or tube?? And...What type epoxy?? do you use?
Thanks!
Drew

Been there & tried that and don't believe it can be done
in a way that would guarantee no leakage...
Bellows are securely glued into a deep channel which
appears to have retention ribbing interlocking with the
bellow's rim - this assembly was made to last.

I was kind of thinking this...It doesn't look like it can easily be taken apart 
Thanks, Drew

I thought perhaps if I very carefully ran a thin x-acto blade
around the perimeter - that I would then be able to peel
the bellows rim from the groove. However, the adhesive
was so tenacious and the groove so deep, it ended up
being a unfixable mess.
But you might as well give it a try - at least you will appreciate
the internal complexities of Barco's LC design, which looks so
simple from the outside.....

Greg Eisemann has successfully done this with some NIB Barco SIM tubes he got a few years back. I honestly don't know how he did it but he said it was heck. You might want to see if he can give you an tips.
