Is there anyone here who has some experience with sub-base mounted
pneumatic valves?

The valve that controls the speed adjustment motor is not working
quite right.

I know the follownig.

1. It is a sub-base mounted valve with 5 ports.
2. It has two soleniods.
3. When air is applied directly to the speed control motor, without
the valve, the motor works great.
Check the exhaust ports. If they have those sintered metal mufflers,
they may be plugged.

Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that you may have hit the nail on the
head! This very possibly is "it"!

I didnt think of this, because most machine shops now days use either
screw compressors and dryers, or dryers alone..and you dont have a
dryer, do you?

Pick one up at an auction. Doesnt need to be a big one. One the size of
a bread box will do you just fine. Get a 110vt one.

If they still have it, the Harbor Freight refrigerated air dryer is an
exceptionally good deal.

HF has a dryer??? Really? No ****? Ill have to check it out!

Thanks!
