I have an old model (PT65) which is fine but seperating the backing ia nearly impossible. Is a PT90 any easier?

Absolutely. We have no trouble with it. I agree with the previous two answers you received as well.

We have had no problems with our PT-1290RS. We haven't used it much but the backing seems to remove very easily. All we have to do is slightly bend the tape. The tape backing is split down the middle and once you bend it a bit you can easily see where to grasp and pull. We like the split backing because if you pull off the top piece of the backing you can get it centered on wherever you want to put it and then you can remove the bottom piece. We've never had any other kind of labeler so we don't have anything to compare it to. But so far we haven't had a problem with it. Hope this helps.

Not too sure about the PT65 but when I first got the PT90 I had a hard time separating the backing paper as well. Then I found that the backing paper is split down the middle to help get it off the label. Now I just flex the tape a little and get the backing off pretty easily.

The TZe-231 tape I use in my PT1290 has a paper backing that is split down the center making it very easy to separate from the label. It also makes it possible to remove just the upper half, place the label easily into place, then remove the lower half to complete.

It was designed with model b version 1 in mind. However this design makes it universal to all pi models. It holds the board by the protruding connection jacks. I have a b v 2 and there is just a little play for the board to move. It is comprised of 6 sheets cut to shape, and just snap together without tools.all pieces are transparent (blue and clear) and have the protective sheets still on for shipping-so remember to peel both sides of all pieces for a nice simple case.there is enough room that mine runs only a couple degrees warmer than without a case, and it's best not to short circuits....quick shipping, enjoy....

It's difficult, but it can be done. I was only able to do it after I pushed the lower base inward while pushing the adjuster button. Only then would the overlapping base move from its spot.

Its hard to seperate the digitizer from the lcd! If you dont have the experience you'll end up cutting the lvd ribbon. (Very fragile) I ended up getting the screen and digitizer combo which was much more expensive but was an easy install after that purchase. I tried to return the unused 40 dollar digitizet, but the seller never responded back to my request.

I had some problems getting the thing apart too. I uploaded a picture with instructions. Hold the lowest part of the base in one hand, and then unscrew the ring counterclockwise to get it apart. From some of the answers I've seen to questions, there must be different models being sold under the same name. I was able to to unscrew everything by hand (there's no Allan wrench needed).

That is correct but I would suggest you look for a ptz model on sale - it does not cost much more.

I did some DIY mods by cutting thin plywood to the shape of Shure 840 and taping it with industrial strength double sided tape. It's removable if you like but I feel it's lot more comfy than the original pads. I'm sure u can do it with any pads. The sounds actually improves a little.

Im going to be completely honest with you. I changrd the screen myself and has worked like a champ ever since. There is a tutorial on youtube and yes, the piece comes preassembles just for you to change the components into the new piece. Im 19 and i did it all by myself. Recomended although it is a little bit pricy.

I've taken similar ones apart before, all you need is a long small Phillips screwdriver. I just hope you had better luck with yours than I did, I didn't use it for a few weeks after I got it and after about two days it started making such a racket it was a joke, after I let it run for a few hours it works fine but as soon as I have time it's coming apart for an overhaul.

Rashad, when I ordered it I had no idea that the Lcd screen is actually glued to the digitizer screen and almost impossible to separate. Mine shattered trying to separate them so I sent the digitizer I ordered back because I couldn't use it. You would need the whole assembly and that is quite a bit more expensive. My mistake. No misrepresentation by the seller or Amazon. Hope this helps. Kelli Legg

Yes it's really easy the hard part is removing the drum and putting it back. Everything you need is part of this.

Apparently the "FAIL: relay weld" issue has continued into units shipped in 2015. Mine was on a shelf unit with only about 1.5 inches to lift and drop . . . but it worked! Plugged it back in and unit was back functioning as it should. Percussive maintenance at its best.

The manufacturer does not recommend splitting kits, but if you do, simply keep the proper ratios. i.e. split kits precisely before making smaller batches. PTI Support 281-778-3223

The PT85 and PT65 cases are different and the tapes maybe also. The PT85 is no longer made by Brother. If you can find one, you might find they both work the same way. Maybe different "Tapes".

Use spudger tool to carefully port apart. Check you tube, very helpful instructional videos....

Sorry for delay, have been on vacation. I don't know if it will fit PT-90 as I looked on all my packaging and didn't give any models. go to www.brother.com. Sorry Bill

I think you should get the "platinum" model, not the cheaper original one or your feet won't clear the base properly. That is your main worry, so order from reputable source. Parts missing is likely to be a rarity, the other problem of the feet is a certainty. The machine will work the biceps and upper back muscles used to pull arms downward and backward quite well. It won't work triceps.
