To rbwillnj; I tracked down a link and a picture with instructions. I have the brewster indexer. It is complete except for the finger on the link arm. If this is the part you have, how much? Thanks for your information. Marty
There is an actuator that mounts on one of the links that makes the whole thing work. If you don't have it, I have a couple of new ones. I also have a set of instructions.
I have an older Star Sizer that has a main part seized. The part in question is the shaft that holds (1) the handle on the right and (2) the actuator arm that moves the punch up and down the two vertical shafts. There appears to a pin of some type running through the center, as it is visible on the left and appears to go through almost to the right, just shy of the part that holds the handle. Newer Stars and Magma's do not have this pin. Also, this Star is mounted with an air-powered actuator ram that activates the "handle" for lack of a better word. It has worked fine since I bought it a couple of years ago, keeping in mind, that I use it everyday.
Question is- Can I punch out this pin with a drift type punch and not cause any damage or is there something else that needs to be done first. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone wants a picture of the set-up with the air ram, I can supply one. The operation is great at saving the strain/repetition on my right arm.
Thanks in advance- Rick at R & R Bullets, Maitland, ONtario Canada.
