Have been finding lately that the feed tyres for the LCT are not lasting nearly as long as they're rated for. Typically start failing after 130K compared to their supposed life of 1000K. Even finding Torque Limiters that need replacing at the same time, something I've hardly ever had to replace before. Anyone else having this issue, any mods or fixes?? Cheers.
Try using the new Baron feed rollers,ordered some to my car this week for this exact problem AF031098 AF032098
I know the XX80 rollers don't go the 1M that they are spec'd for but failing after only 130K sounds way to early. What type of paper and what environment are they in. If they are using any type of coated paper or NCR paper they should be using the old black 300K rollers, AF0071, AF1041 and AF2041 as recommended for the Pro 1357EX in the Product Support Guide.

That sounds about right bud, the feed mechanisms on these devices are absolutely crap.
I always replaced feed rollers regularly on these models, the amount of feed stations I have had to replace is massive so yeah, just continue what your doing
You might be on to something there, I'll give it a go as well.
Torguelimiter often fails on this LCT.
Yeah, I normally replace them as a set now; I've been caught out by that a few times. Anyone know if a different Torque Limiter would work?
Those numbers don't seem to exist here in NZ, the only part numbers for the Baron LCT's (RT5070 & RT5080) that we have listed are (pick up) AF030080 (feed) AF031083 & (sep) AF032080 which are for the AF2090 and the like. I wonder if we carry different units to other countries?
