Hi guys
Bought a 159 duplex a few months ago having never seen one before and not knowing how the feeds work.. once I figured it out I realised that the feeds are just not working at all.
What I find odd is that the rapid feed still works, but the normal power feeds don’t. Having no experience with these machines I’m wondering where to start looking for the potential causes? Could it be a broken shear pin? If so where could it be? Also could it be the clutch for the power feeds isn’t engaging? Is there a separate motor to engage the feeds?
There is very little documentation on the internet of these machines and how they work, so I’m hoping someone on here can share some knowledge!
Thanks in advance
