Hi, I'm new here. I will add pics of my workshop at a later date!
I currently have:
Beaver mill - which I've added power feed, and 3 axis DRO.
Colchester Student 1800 - which I am resurrecting currently!
I need help!
The Colchester has it's ABC lever jammed on B, and it's RST lever stuck on R.
The VWXYZ lever works fine, as does the 12345678 joystick.
I have tried jiggling, wiggling etc gentle tapping, forward/reversing etc etc - no luck.
I am thinking that I will need to remove the front cover to the lever box.
1: Drain oil!
2: .... can anyone offer any help/advice of having done it themselves? Photos would be brilliant.
I am worried that if I remove the front cover that "bits" will fall off inside, and I won't know where they fit.
Do I remove all handles and then the shafts stay behind, or do the handles come away with the cover etc etc
Please, someone clever help me!
