Hey y'all, could I get some opinions on this perdickerment I'm in.
This problem hasn't been fixed since I bought this and I think now is a good time.
With the quill half way up and the quill stop engaged, when I release the stop lever, instead of the quill returning on it's own to teh up position, it falls down instead. Here's some pics
Handle removed
spring housing removed
the spring catch
No signs of anything broken. I've never seen a new spring catch , so I don't know if this one is still good or what. I am thinking that maybe the spring broke one time in it's 55 years and when the guy replaced it, he may have put it in backwards? Is that even possible? If so, who's got teh sure fire way to pop this puppy out and switch the rotation?
Thanks and Merry Christ mas y'all
