Nice rotisserie. Did u make that?

Thinking the same thing. Simple but looks to be a very affective rotisserie.

mkgort,

I am shopping my NF this weekend also and it's the first time I've had it apart. Can you take a look at your magnet optos for the large ramp and tell me if your front left opto is mounted on a 90-degree bracket or is it mounted the same as the other two? I'm attaching a pic to show what I am seeing on mine.

Because of the way mine is set up, I'm having a bear of a time getting my ramp out because the opto is blocking the ramp and I can't get to the bracket screws. The mounting screws are hard to get at too because they're against the inside bend of the ramp. The manual indicates the ramp should slide right out, but I'm hitting up against that darn opto. I'll remount it like the others when I re-assemble unless this is the way it has to be.

Thanks.

Nice to see another pinsider in the atlanta area as soon as i saw case of sweetwater i knew you were a local !!

I think I am going to be drinking some Sweetwater IPA tonight.

All 3 NF magnet / opto assys should be identical.

Someone has hacked the first one in your game for some reason. What that is, I don't know...

That ramp IS NOT easy to get off.

My ass. I was VERY worried when getting mine out...like terified it was going to snap the way I had to twist and turn it.

Yes mine is...let me find a pic P1040913.JPG P1040914.JPG

Hmmm....manual seems to say (2-21 back panel assembly) they all should be the same. So we have 2 people with optos one way, and 2 the other. I wonder if there's a difference in production numbers or a replacement part maybe?

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback and pictures relating to my situation - and I apologize if I hijacked your thread mkgort.

Just as an FYI on my ramp challenge. It certainly wasn't easy, but after 90 minutes I finally got my ramp out. I ended up unscrewing the left magnet/opto bracket to have it move forward with the ramp. Of course, a plastic was covering one of the bracket screws... and I couldn't get to the plastic's screws because the ramp was covering them... it was one long series of catch 22s. But with much perseverance (and flexing things way more than I preferred) I got it out. Can't wait to see how putting it back together is going to go.

It's frustrating that it would have been so much easier if only that left opto was mounted the same as the rest. I am seriously considering changing it when I re-assemble everything. The risk there is that if I change it and it doesn't work consistently afterwards, I'll have the pleasure of taking it all back apart.

Anyone know how forgiving the opto's are in regard to the cutouts in the ramps? I'll look closer at mine tomorrow, but that left one didn't look like it lined up very well on that 90-degree bracket.

I do seem to remember it going back in a lot easier than coming out...so at least there's that

Nice! Never done a full tear down...impressive.
