[R-390] Oops, new mechanical problem

[Phil]

Grayson,

About 2 years ago I rebuilt a gear train.....about 30 times before I
could get the intermittent gear aligned properly.  The intermittent
is the very bottom gear in the whole chain.  Anyway, as it turns out,
there two cams that you can not get to after the whole thing is put
together.  As Roy says, you align those and keep them aligned as
you finish putting the gear train together.  Believe it or not, with
a little practice, you can get your gear train all apart and back
together again in about 15 minutes.....and I speak from experience :-)

73, Phil
