I have an Enco 110-2031 (Taiwanese) of 1998 vintage, and I'm totally confused by the quick change gearbox. The power feed rod (or the threading rod) will turn when either of the gear shifters is disengaged (as well as when both are disengaged), but will not turn when both are engaged in any position. In fact, the motor belt slips if I turn it on with both gear shifters engaged, as it seems to lock up the gear box completely.
I would have assumed that the power feed would only run with both engaged, and not run with either disengaged, but something must be wrong inside. Any idea what?
Also, any tips for pulling it apart? It looks like I'd have to lift the machine a bit, as the tray underneath it blocks the gear shift from dropping out of the way of the faceplate. Does that seem right, or is there an "easy way" I'm missing?
