I'm sure you've been inside yours more than you want to think about. Heypaul was kind enough to open up his ME-23 and let me poke around inside, and I was amused by the spring-loaded pin and the drilled holes for the detents on the disk on the bottom. His is in excellent condition, you could tell that CIY had recently replaced the disk before the car it came from was scrapped. Nice, solid "click, click, click" on his.I have no idea of how hard it would be to retrieve that disk, but seemed to be a relatively simple design. On the ones I've seen when RCI's had to open them up to get me rolling, I noted that all of them had a gouge all the way around the disk from the pin and that's why the detents went away on so many of them. But apparently they either had spares or they made replacements for them. Not that I'm suggesting you guys bother with it given the PIA it would probably be to fix, but just wanted to mention my amusement at having seen the innards of the stands years ago ... I have a controller from an R-7 here which is connected up to a machine running BVE and a badly cobbed wooden variation of the ME-23 with a potentiometer on it to serve as a brake stand, thus my interest in all this when I went to build my own "home arnine." :) |
