Ok... this is my third try. Yahoo doesn't like me. Hi Dennis,
I bought 3 of those from Tradera too last year. Great price for an unusual item (about $2 for you foreigners :) . Mine were also stiff as hell to begin with but I turned mine like in your first picture and managed to get the edge out. The center cap is glued on so you need a thin sharp knife to cut it open in the seam. You will want to get it off eventually anyhow cause' beneath it is a screw and a spring and adjusting the spring will do miracles for the puzzle. I completely dissassembled mine, cleaned, and lubed it and adjusted the tension... like a whole new puzzle. Still not great, but compared to before it's awesome. An additional adjustment you might want to make is to sand the end of the springs flat. They stick out pretty much and gets caught in the surrounding plastic. And for those who are interested, it's a groove mechanism. /Gustav Dennis Nilssson skrev: Ok, Here are some pictures (~100kb) http://www.cubeloop.com/php/upload/domino.htm The second picture is as much I dare to rotate the block (or R,L,B,F) layers. The U (and D) layer is no problem to rotate. What do you mean by mechanism, are there different Domino's that have different mechanisms? // Dennis www.cubeloop.com -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Stefan Pochmann Skickat: den 23 januari 2006 21:38 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [Speed cubing group] Re: (dis)assembling Rubik's Domino --- In [email protected], "Dennis Nilssson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > I just got my Rubik's Domino which I had won on an auction.

In any case, how to take it apart of course depends on the mechanism. Any info or pictures (e.g. with parts turned 45 degrees) you can provide us might help... Cheers! Stefan > > Yahoo!
