UPDATE:
Don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner but the timing lever PT 3822 CSP is not supposed to be notched out, like someone modified it, in my last diagram. Normal lever end is shown in the attached photo. You can see how the swinging arrow stop bar PT 3842 could work to stop the timing lever farther out before the slides are unlocked, until the “skill shot” solenoid momentarily pulls it away. Then, by coming back to rest on the wide end of the timing bar, it will not interfere with the lever on the outbound trip. Simple ! By creating the notch, whoever did this bypassed the stop bar entirely and it had no effect on delaying the slides. Why they did that, rather than just removing the swinging arrow stop bar, which is held on by only shoulder screw, is mystery. However, they apparently eventually did that as well and disposed of it. The one I made will definitely work. I just need a replacement timing lever ( still waiting for Dave Berten to answer my emails. I mean, what else does he have to do while self quarantining for Covid
) or I need to weld a piece onto the end of the one in the machine. But, I’m not a welder
Anyone have a spare Mills 3822 CSP timing bar for sale ?
Thanks
