You need to replace just the foot, the spring and release button should be OK. Press in the foot release button _all_the_way_and_then_some_, the foot will just pop out the bottom. A replacement can come from a 190, 5300, 3400 or a Kanga, they all use the same part (same both sides as well) and it shouldn't cost more than a buck or two. Replacement is the reverse of removal. : -) > On 3/13/03 jim page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> just picked up a 3400c, nice machine!! had a few Qs: >> - any way to fix one of the elevation feet that still springs but doesn't >> lock > > The catch inside the foot itself is broken, that's why it won't stay > latched.
