AS FAR I CAN REMEMBER, THERE IS A METAL CLIP EASY TO ADJUST.
IT TAKES FEW SECONDS. UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME DAMAGE.

well i just did some close looking and there is a metal rod that is very slightly bent  i have not done anything yet in fear of brakeing it
the rod is not the same as the pantograph that is working .

Derricknscaler,

The Bach-Man has said before:

"Dear xxxx,
I'd call (215)533-1600 and ask for the service department.
They'll be glad to help.
Have fun!
the Bach-man"

All the best,
Charles
