What a great website… I could never have known how to replace the blade holder… Or that I could get the correct parts…I got the replacement part. Then removed the old one, and replaced the new one. NO problem at all.. Thanks to Andrew and this website… With out it, would have to pay some one at a big price, and wait to have it fixed, as would have to send it off for the repair.. Or….. Just throw it away…

Thanks every one… I will share this site for sure…

Your image titled "OLtArEqZITeHNOGW" shows the top of the blade clamp in which a rectangular bar which has a hole in it and is split by a piece of metal is in the same slot as the reticulating blade mechanism. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. I know this because I was dumb enough to follow this model. When you spin the fly wheel by hand, you'll see that this bar in the space where you overtly show it actually blocks the movement up and down. This damages the entire device. As a repair medium, please don't showcase feature images with things in the incorrect spot - especially when you only show so few images that there's no way to cross reference. The sliding block with the cloth like material is also underneath its set position. WHY WOULD YOU SHOW THIS? Do you understand how frustrating this is? You are asking people to talk apart their tools and trust your guide but you are then showing as a reference incorrect disassembly images.
