Hello All,
I recently bought a Alba No1 shaper and have a bit of a question about the clapper box assembly, I have removed the box assembly and now would like to remove what I presume is the rotating assembly that holds the clapper box on to the arm.
I have removed both the screws but the rotating section is incredibly tight and I cannot remove it. I wonder if any one could offer some advice and if possible a scan of the parts drawings showing that bit.
very best wishes
Mike

I don't know if you'ii have to join the Yahoo shaper group to acess the files section, but there is an Alba 1a shaper manual in there!

I've been rooting around a bit and I've found the Elliot10m manual, the Alba is the previous model, and is pretty similar. On the pic below, part N°20 is the locking pin for the swivel, it has to be removed before you can remove the tool holder head.
Cheers, Matthew

Thanks Matthew its that part 20 I cannot remove I have removed the shaft locking screws but cannot push out the cross locking shaft. I might have to go up a hammer size.
many thanks the drawing is perfect.

Something tells me you have to turn it round to line it up to get t out!! Thinking about it, you may have to tun the tool holder base round to get the locking cam out.
Try that before the next size of hammer. I took mine apart back in the last century, so my memory is a little vague to say the least!
Good luck, Matthew

:clap: Hi Matthew you were right I had to turn the seized head through 180 degrees and then drive out the seized pin.
But we got there many thanks for your help.
best wishes
