<div>Well this backaction is done. I shaved off the center ridge on the rail in the table saw. Then I needed some off the tray so the rail could come forward and that left me with a 2mm thick strip that I glued back on the rail to stop the shorter flanges from twisting. I had to shave that down slightly with the square metal scraper. I glued the four 3mm thick pads on the bottom to raise the rail so the center pin was the same height minus just a little. I marked the holes for the capstans on the tray from the marks on the felt and then compared it to the holes on the rail. I took 5mm off the tray to make a ledge to fit Jurgens capstans. (they can be put on with a cordless drill and socket) Drilled the holes at 8* to the tray so they are flat to the arms. The distance from flange center pin to the lift center pin was 6mm shorter so I drilled the new bracket hole in the rail 6mm back. A little notching to fit the brackets and I was hanging the new arms with the cordless. A pad behind the arms that got springs was needed too. Fits beautifully. I got an attaboy..<GRIN> </div> <div> </div> <div>You might keep the brackets and and maybe the tray hardware and sos rod. You know how that old pot metal can expand sometimes.</div> <div> </div> <div>Keith Roberts<br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote"></span> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote"></span> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jon Page</b> <<a href="mailto:jonpage@comcast.net">jonpage@comcast.net</a>> wrote:</span></div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div> <div><br> </div> <div>I have a salvaged backaction from a Vose.
