Time for a déjà vu... upon inspection, I noticed the shaft of my TP5660 is loose too... :(.

It's not as bad as with Lizard's TP4070, there's still no "rotational play", but the shaft moves forwards and backwards a couple of millimeters under pressure, while the rotor does not move. I can see the rotor is fixed to the shaft with two grub-screws. APS, the shop I got it from, tells me I can fix it myself with some epoxy and just tightening the grub-screws. Have to look at that in the weekend, but, because the motor does not have a removable front end-bell, my main concern is I'll be damaging or knocking out the front bearing with the motor shaft, when the rotor is sucked in while putting it back... Alternative would be shipping it back to UK and have APS do it.

Seems evidence undermining my love for TP is piling up lately.

Did you get your TP4070 apart already Lizard?
