This is a sticky one. I have a long shot thought. Victor has a procedure in the service notes, that tells you whichn spring to load in the barrel, and its direction of winding.Is it possible that one of the springs could have nbeen installed in reverse? I'm not even sure if the motor could be nwound if that were done, but as I've said, it's a long shot.
I have one of those 4 spring jobs apart now, and I've got to study the thing a lot before I re-pack the springs. (Maybe if you got one of those electric Credenzas like I have, you wouldn't have this mess!!!!) Cheers Doug.
