- We had the same problem with several discs on PeCe.
- Sometimes it was possible to shift the date of the final dead of the disc
- by about 1-2 years by ajusting the little spring in the mid of the wheel.
- There is also a small piece of coal, which can be "refreshed" by using
- sand paper. But be very, very carefull.
-
- I would recommend to do this "improvements" as late as possible (will
- mean: when the disc stopped working), because you can repeat the procedure
- only limited times.
