OK - best way to clean out these oreo cookie crumbs? Mineral spirits? Tough Stuff foaming cleaner? Sand blasting?

So I've got the gripper motor removed, and have cleaned up the drive shaft, cams, gripper arm and assembly so it once again operates poroperly (was seized up - detailed in another post). Question: Aside from cleaning and maybe oiling the gripper motor, does it need anything else before being reinsta...

Thanks Ron. Will do. I don't plan on any further disassembly Just read through John Robertson's tutorial on the gripper arm. Think I may start wearing laytex gloves...at the rate I'm going, this Lava soap will soon wear me hands down to bone

OK, replying to my own post (as my hands dry from an intensive scrubbing with Lava soap)... Removed the screw that held the "Geneva Gripper Release/Turnover" cams/gears/whatever...noted their position. Removed the Trunnion shaft inside the "Gripper spider" and subsequently the sp...

OK, gripper bow is off, gripper motor is out (cleaning it up). Still can't figure out how to get this part to move. It's still seized up (is there a catch somewhere?) - the two cams at the top won't turn, neither will the gear (barely visible towards the bottom). It rocks a bit by hand, but that's i...

OK...so here's what I've done tonight. Per one of the links you or Ken sent, I was able t...

Many thanks - luckily I do have the manual from Victory Glass already. I've been the laborious task of cleaning it...some nasty filth in the bottom. I removed, and cleaned up the power supply/unit in the lower left, below the magazine. I'll read up on the motor before I tackle it. I was told it was ...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not entire sure where to start with regards to cleaning/turning the gears by hand (the whole shaft seems locked). I've uploaded some pics here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2nmtqb Thanks. I won't be plugging it in for some time, I know - there are several wires that were...

Picked up a Rock-Ola 425 "Grand Prix" and the gripper arm is stuck over the turn table at about 45-degrees (as though it was half-way to setting a record down, or picking it up). If I turn it on, the transfer motor (proper term for this model? I know there's one on an AMI ROWE I revived ea...
