I have an older brother TC-S2a that I'm trying to get back into shape. I already replaced the ballscrews and there is no longer any backlash.
I'm having surface finish issues which I believe are from worn linear guides.
The rails themselves are in good shape with no visible damage. Is it worthwhile to remove and reball the linear guide blocks with balls slightly oversize (+.0001) to increase preload and rigidity?
I would buy new rails and blocks but the mounting hole spacing is non-standard and I can't find any for a reasonable price.
