Wow, the people that are part of this forum are very responsive. I have included a few pictures to illustrate what I am up against. You will notice that the plastic gears are well worn. Also there is a metal rod or cross member that appears to be a bit bent out of shape, guessing that needs to be replaced. Also there are some plastic bushings that are out of alignment.
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR: I found an article (from a gentleman name Bill Schneider) that described how to replace the gears with four flanged roller bearings and four flanged bronze bushings - Order the bushings and bearings.
WHAT I NEED TO FIGURE OUT: The metal cross member/rod that is bent out of wack, is it a part that is easily sourced? Also are there other things that need to be dealt with when servicing an enlarger that is this old/worn?
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.
