301 Take-up lever
I am working on a tan 301A I picked up. The take-up lever hits the faceplate before it makes its full revolution. There is a tiny nick where this had to have happened a time or two before the machine was obviously put away and not used for some time.
I can not figure out what to do about this. I have tried to find something on wefixit yahoo groups, but apparently I am yahoo-challenged.
The "Tools for Self Reliance" has a brief blurb about replacing the whole assembly, but not about how to tweak one that is already in the machine. It does tell me that the screw is a "left handed" thread so is to be turned opposite the normal way, which is obviously good to know.
Help?
