[CW] Vibroplex Champion Question

Sun Sep 1 10:11:12 EDT 2019

It's amazing how much info you can find out by asking a question and I REALLY appreciate all the responses.  Fore and aft is certainly the issue and as stated below, no adjustment.  I guess one could slightly enlarge the hole in the bottom of the U shaped damper bracket or even slightly enlarge the hole in the base.  Either one will provide a small amount of adjustment but I generally don't like to modify stuff from the original.  As I have stated before, the bug works fine but looks a tad odd.  One more thing I want to do is to disassemble the Champion and Lightning I have to do a precise measurement of the shaft lengths.  Just curious.

Again, thanks to all.

Everyone please have a good Sunday.

    North-South etc, doesn't mean much here. There three planes: 
fore and aft; side to side; vertical up and down.
    I think the OP meant fore and aft. There is no adjustment for this......
