I noticed more water than usual when I pulled the plug. I raised the drive all the way up and water started pouring out of the bellows!!! I checked it out with the drive hard right and all the way up. Sure enough, a 1" hole.
I am willing to bet this is the reason I had to replace 2 sets of gimble bearings last year. The bellows are from 1987 (Alpha 1), so I'm sure its just rotten. There are tiny cracks all around each pleat.
I have to replace the bellows etc. I hear this is a tough job. Any ideas or suggestions before I get started?
Thanks, Nate:bonk:
