The FU part isn't very accurate, other than a deterioration of silent
operation.

I remember a discussion quite a while ago in RCM, and a term being
mentioned that is the name for this condition, but I can't remember it
(or find it in my saved posts).

When the bearing and or shaft contact surfaces get to a point of wear,
the shaft no longer spins around it's center axis, but instead, starts
this chatter as it rattles it's way around the inside circumference of
the bearing.

Hopefully, someone will know this term, Thanks,

FUBAR?



No the FU is appropriate. Used to work on Teletype ASR33. They were a
light duty printer and NCR used them for I/O consol printers on a mainframe.
They would wear and rattle and print crap. Was FUed. And they were the
crap to rebuild.
