Well the gradual strip down of my Kondia mill is progressing, as I had the opportunity over the weekend to look a bit more at the head. I made an adaptor the mount the head on my engine stand and attempted to disassemble the quill stop/trip lever components.
The quill stop micro screw is held in place by a reverse trip ball lever, which I cannot figure out how to remove. I managed to find a large scale drawing of the head but this hasn't helped me figure this part out. Here is the section of the drawing in question. The reverse trip ball lever screw is missing.
This is what I see when looking at the head:
I think the round item in the hole is the trip ball lever (167) in the drawing and as you can see, it moves with the plunger (412). When the plunder is all the way down, the trip ball lever moves quite freely but I cannot get it to move towards me.
Looking at the drawings for a Bridgeport J Head, the mechanisms look the same.
Any ideas
