Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[PixMan]

Thanks for posting about it, I was going to ask if you'd had any progress.

Not sure what I'm looking at in the second photo, but I believe it's the screw in the first photo as installed. Why would you have to turn off the projection at the end of the screw? Doesn't it serve some purpose? Just what does that screw do?

That flame cut (or poorly laser cut?) part looks like something we could have made. Was the original missing? I do hope all the hand fitting of parts makes for a good, smooth running assembly. Judging from some of the engineering (or lack thereof) that I've seen with that machine, it's simply GOT TO be better than what the Kondia factory originally shipped!

BTW, which photos would you like me to send you or post?
