In the following photo is a mistake. I have done it before but it is impossible to proceed without correction. The second photo gives it away. Whoever exposes it first wins 1 Thargian Gronk, from my collection of gronks. (And no, it is not the brass ground strip at the end of the capstan.)

That's why I suspected you were merely being lazy. So find the error. Hint: Something in the first picture is wrong. If you don't look at a 400 a lot, you'll not likely see it. I'm sure Martin saw it right away. It was not critical, but the machine could not work correctly as is was. In a message dated 12/10/2010 9:28:19 A.M.

It's a shitty Canon camera. The frame is perfectly straight. Close up, everything fish-eyes. In a message dated 12/11/2010 2:06:58 A.M.

Well, okay, the spillbox needed to be mounted on the new brackets.

Another good guess. That wasn't a goof. I wasn't to that point yet. There
is an ovious assembly mistake in the first photo.

Okay, the retention ring and c-clip are missing from the end of the

Nope, but you're getting close. The clips are not required for the machine
to operate correctly.

It would be much easier to put the headblock on if the W clips were
installed first.

That's why I suspected you were merely being lazy. So find the error.
Hint: Something in the first picture is wrong. If you don't look at a 400 a
lot, you'll not likely see it. I'm sure Martin saw it right away. It was
not critical, but the machine could not work correctly as is was.
Well, it certainly wouldn't produce much of a signal without the
headblock!2010-12-11 by lsf5275@aol.com

Not difficulty, just a screw up. I've done it before. In a message dated 12/11/2010 2:21:36 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, MAinPsych@aol.com writes: Oh, damn, I just missed it..
