Lower tubes breakdown

Post by JPG »

I would refer to them as bench tubes, but they do not function as such. They remain part of the 'upper' assembly that includes the way tubes and headstock etc.

There are two tilt locks, one for each 'direction.

The rear end lock cam is retained by a tension pin.

As is the front lock cam that also has the lock handle attached.

The handle is secured to the cam by two screws.

The two lock levers are identical, but have the opposite pair of holes tapped. This is so each locks in opposite directions

One lever had a bit of damage(PO attempted to remove bullet detent?)

Not pretty, but more 'normal'.

Finally all the parts there are ready for cleanup.
