Need help with Saunders 14x17 easel

[dtheld]

Hi all.

I'm hoping I can find some help with this easel. I've searched the web and have found no info on repairing a loose arm on it. It is in great shape and I got it at a great price. I hope to get the loose arm fixed soon. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, which model is it? Could you post a picture?

Jon,

The model number is 135021. I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow. Thanks for your response.

I'm not sure what model that is, but on some Saunders models, the arm brackets are held square by spring pressure. You may be able to take the bracket off and bend the spring to increase spring tension.

Okay, I looked it up and it's the basic school model easel called U1417. Do a search, for example:
