Title: Cavalier 72 Main Door Hinges
Post by: Slapshot42 on February 26, 2013, 01:49:51 pm
Does anybody have a set of door hinges for a Cavalier 72?

They were taken off for sandblasting and apparently they were lost during the process!

I have a set of hinges coming from a friend off a Cavalier 51.  Not sure if they are the same hinges?

I don't have a picture of the hinges but they attach to the main door of the machine.  I have the cabinet hinges and pins.

Thanks!

Jared

I'm the idiot that lost them.  I found them burried in one of my parts bins.  I guess you tend to lose stuff when you took it apart 8 months ago!   :blush: :darn: :down:

Found them that's all that matters.
Drum kit I took apart 37 years ago is turning into a bit of a challenge :-)

The good part is that you are also the idiot who found them! :laugh: 8) :biggrin:

I do stuff like that all the time.  Unfortunately, I usually find the stuff right after I purchase the replacement!  We can all use a little more organization.  I used to be very good at finding the crucial report buried in the stacks of paper on my desk--not so much anymore!

Can't wait to see the finished product.

They were not lost! Just temporarily misplaced as you are keeping organized by keeping parts in bins! You just didn't look hard enough; or suffered from "TB" - - Temporary Blindness
Glad you found them!

I just did the same thing with some slug rejector parts...

I can't begin to tell you how many parts I have lost over the last 15 years.  I try to get smarter as I get older but I think that is just a "Wives tale"

What I hate is when I think I am putting something in a "better" spot and then I forget where that "better" spot was when I look for them in the original spot.
 :Oo: :upside:

I put a lot of things away so I wouldn't lose them. Quite a few I haven't found yet. But if I leave something lay out I can go back months later and find it no problem.  :darn:
