In following another thread, I realized that the normal, resting position of the arm on my 160 Jumbo is not at 45º, but rather in the closed position. I acquired the press used and I'm at least the third owner--it came originally from a local college.
I have looked at the linkage and can't determine if there is anything missing, comparing it to photos and illustrations form an owner's manual for the Masterpiece model which looks almost identical
.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Should I just continue to use it as is or should I attempt to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated.
