Will a Model D 2022 reissue pitch wheel assembly work on Model D 2016 reissue?

Post by Lowboy » Tue Mar 14, 2023 2:06 pm

Hi,

I am hoping a Moog technician or informed forum member can help me answer two related questions:

1) Will a Model D 2022 reissue pitch wheel assembly work on Model D 2016 reissue?

2) If so, can I purchase a Model D 2022 reissue pitch wheel assembly from Moog?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Just adding to this thread, as I would also be interested in the answers to these questions. Thanks so much!

Yes. Would LOVE the new LHC and will buy one, if available to us!

Hard to believe no one can answer this question.

Critical thinking suggests the electronics are same, and the main differences are mechanical.

The self-centering pitch wheel is one of the big attractions of the 2022 reissue. Perhaps Moog is worried many people will upgrade their pitch wheel instead of upgrading to the 2022 reissue.

There is some charm to the 2016 reissue pitch wheel, but I would like to have both available to me.

Can someone from Moog respond? Has anyone tried this?

I would think the self centering pitch wheel from a 2022 reissue would work on a 2016 LHC if you could get a part from Moog.
