[Newbie] Backlash adjust for Phase II 221-308

[rchang1952]

Curious to find a manual for a Phase II rotary table, model 221-308. I can find parts lists and instructions for other models, but not for the model I have. New tables are still offered from Travers and Penn Tool and e-bay has the hardware.

Online eccentric sleeve adjusting instructions contain screws not on my table and not where the parts lists indicate the screws reside.

Any suggestions are welcome!

This is the best I can find https://docs.travers.com/assets/pdf/65-220-006_manual.pdf

But I think you adjust it by the engage disengage method rotating the vernier collar

Thanks for your kind replies and the time you used looking up the travers data. I did have the travers data and it details adjusting screws not on the 221-308. Nonetheless, I will look at the vernier rotation method to see if that makes a difference. The table is super smooth even though it has a lot of backlash. It works perfectly. I'll fool around some more to see what can come of it.

Thanks again,

Richard
