Hi, all. I've got a 48" Macomber that I'm restoring. I have a question for you: Where does the crank on the cloth beam go? Does it just dangle off the end of the beam, outside and to the right of the bracket that supports the ratchet mechanism, or does it fit on the left _between_ the bracket and the ratchet gear? Here's where it is right now:
I also have the problem that when I crank the cloth beam, the left end of it "walks" up the support bracket and pops out. Is there supposed to be something on the end of the beam to prevent that? The previous owner made some modifications to the cloth beam to add an apron to it, and I'm not sure whether they removed something from the end of the beam that was supposed to be there.
Here's what it looks like:
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Keith
