Quoted from Rocanich:Hi, I’m working on the Restauration of my Star Trek. Actually i‘m struggling with the transporter ramp mechanism. Pictures or support is highly appreciated. I do not know how the coils and mechanics should come together.
Greetings
Roland
Is there are 2 coils. One large coil to pull down which lifts up the ramp. The large coil's linkage catches on the small coils flap which holds the ramp up. Is when the ramp needs to drop back down the small coil pulls in the flap and the Spring loaded ramp drops back down. It is almost like a flipper mechanism. It will flip up and the linkage will catch on a metal a flap. Once the flap is pulled back by the smaller coil the flipper will return to resting position.
The 3 pictures show the up position wis up position with the linkage being held by the flap, the other pitcher is at rest at rest and the 3rd picture shows the small coil.
