Flip dot desto question

Post by Bus_Control »

Hi. Does anyone know how to repair a flip dot desto when the dot/discs are too slow? Is there a fix for this? Aside from upgrading to LED!

The dots are activated by magnets. It is possible the magnets deteriorate over time.

It would probably be necessary to replace the defective elements.
