Quoted from chuckwurt:Anyone mess with the ball lock mech? The one I have is having trouble where the free moving arms are getting caught causing the arms controlled by the coil to not reset when the coil disengages.
I’m going to take the whole mech out and play with it this week, but figured I’d post here first and get everyone’s thoughts.
Thanks!
My suspicion is its just some dirt causing the parts to bind. I had mine apart for a full cleaning not too long ago. The 1st, 3rd and 5th fingers fall back under gravity and are retured to position when the coil is deenergized. Two springs aid in this - one on the plunger and one at the end of the mech.
