As part of the ongoing revival from its slumbers, my RP finally got a nicely opening screen today. Very pleased.I even had to re-rivet the clasp arrangement that had been taken apart which meant making a 'rivet' from a piece of brass rod with ends that I countersunk to peen over...
A question to the masses though. The arm has a slot where a rubber bush is inserted. Mine is missing. What does the rubber do? The system seems to work perfectly without it. Would its operation be improved with the addition of the bush?
The sharp eyed amongst you will note that the rubber seal is awry across the top of the frame. That is because this is only a trial fit to make sure everything works ok
