Just a laugh this Saturday evening:
So I have finally begun cleaning the FP2NC I bought end of summer 2016. Crud upon crud upon crud. But it feels really good - rubbing with degreaser and steel wool gives you the time to look at all details and think about them while excruding elbow grease.
Since there is no mechanical documentation on the flipheads out on the internets and the D3 control was bust, I did not check the machine to any large degree before buying it - just thought the price was A-OK and figured I'll sort the mechanical stuff later. So I got to the part in the cleaning where I flipped the head up (that much I have figgered out to do).
Lo and behold, a mysterious nylon disk where the horizontal spindle is to be.
Hmm. Found the spindle brake lever in a box, attached the thingamajig to move the spindle. Nothing.
Finally inserted a screw into the nylon disk and pulled... And a void as German as nothing else opened:
So the question is: Who took my spindle?
Please give it back.
