I sent the following message (questions) to Lyman.
I have not yet heard Back
Can any of you guys out there answer my questions?
( I guess only Lyman could help with the refurbishing )
*****************
To Lyman:
I "inherited" a Lyman Spar T" from my Uncle who can no longer use it or shoot.
I spoke to someone at Lyman a few weeks ago and asked if:
it was "worth driving 100 miles to collect"?
I was told it was, and I did.
Someone at Lyman then sent me some printed material on Lyman products in general and the spar T in particular.
I was disappointed to see that the product seems no longer to be supported.
(Hardly any parts are available) .
It appears to have been replaced with a "Different" looking unit. ( Spar T II ?)
The unit I retrieved needs replacement parts
Some are "Mangled" and others are missing.
In particular in the area of the primer arm.
It looks like it "was" a good product.
It does need some maintenance, repair, and refurbishing however.
How can I do this when the sparts list I was sent, had 90% of the parts lined out as "no longer available" ?
Can you refurbish it for me?
Will you "replace" it.
Can I "trade it in" for a complete working unit?
The newer model ?
Will parts from you "new" Turret fit?
Is there ANYTHING Lyman will do to help ??
Question:
The turet was dismounted (for storage)
There were Two(2) large washers under the turret securing nut - one with a "bump" and the other without.
If I put one of the washers under the turret ( my first thought), the ball bearing positioner will not work. Are both washers supposed to go over the turret ?
The Huge securing nut over the turret turns VERY hard! It WILL snug down but it is VERY Tight and a LOT of force is necessary - Is this normal ??
Should Both washers be on top of the Turret ??
