Hot Metal Heartbreak
The machines arrived on Tueday. The caster is damaged. Almost certainly was rolled on it side. Among the casualties are the jaw tongs spring box and connecting rods, cam shaft stand, locking bars connecting rod, mould blade connecting rod, bridge lifter, speed gauge, as well as the keyboard spindle. Ouch. I had hoped to be up and running before the ATF conferemce in August. That seems unlikely at this point.
The big question for me is this: has the machine suffered such damage that I should just find another machine and use this one for its parts?
