Title: Vendo V-39 question
Post by: mznb1u on February 20, 2012, 01:15:25 am
All of the recent great pics of restorations have got me motivated to get cracking on my V-39.  I need to install a few parts and make sure that everything is working properly before deciding on the extent of the teardown and refurbish vs. restoration.  When i acquired the machine it was missing the indexing mechanism and the basket wire that secures the drum when restocking the machine.  I have the parts but not the screws.  Can anyone tell me the proper size and thread for the screws to fasten these parts to the tub?

Thanks!

Thanks Glen!

One more question--at least for the time being--can someone shoot a picture of the basket wire installed in a 39?  I believe there may be some other tie-down type loops that the wire goes through.

I will be working on this starting next month after the high school bowling season is over so I am sure that there will be many more questions.
