The 1943 Original I'm restoring has a damper wheel with flat head
machine screw and a nut.
This looks exactly like the Vibroplex site's mechanical drawing, just
the three parts.
I'm a bit confused here -- If I tighten down on the screw/bolt, the
damper wheel won't have any play. If I don't tighten it, eventually it
can loosen. This doesn't seem like a very good design and I'm afraid I'm
missing something. Perhaps the Original model isn't supposed to have a
"loose" damper wheel??
I realize I can double up on the nut and/or use Locktite Blue but I'm
curious to know if this is the actual design from 1943? Can someone with
an Original take a quick look and let me know?
Of all the bugs I've owned and operated over 50+ years, the Original is
one bug I've never operated, owned or even taken a close look at ;-)
Thank and 73,
