Assembly/disassembly instructions for a Type C Repeater (Schick)

[Teppanyaki]

Hey everyone. I'm cleaning up a Schick Repeater Type C (open comb) and trying to figure out how to completely disassemble it for cleaning and reassemble it. Frighteningly, most of it is disassembled already. Does anyone have photos/et cetera?

I guess I should ask my 2nd question now, as well - for the new, thinner blades, how do you load them? I've read you use the loading tray but that due to their thinness you can't load a pack of them like a bunch of vintage Injector blades.

Mine seems to work fine with new thin blades, maybe because I think it's quite a late model you do need an empty magaizine to stack the blades in. Once you can take it apart just give it a try if it jams just dismantle it again - no great problem.

That was a great post! And thanks for uploading the pics to B&B as opposed to linking from a picture sharing site. They can last far longer.

For additional/supplemental info, there is this one as well (for a B type, but I believe the mechanism is the same?)

Starting at Post 10 supplements your thread

and what was important to me at the time is at Post 11. The locked in place spring.

Thanks for the link! I didn't realize that the spring would release by turning it sideways. Oh well . . .

For me, the big trick isn't taking it apart. It's putting it back together!

OK, I am almost there but have hit a few bumps in the road.

1) Which way does the last piece fit? In pictures 1, 3, and 4 the thin inner strip can go either way (with the brass-colored tab on the inside or outside). The rectangular piece it fits into matches the rest of the mechanism in a specific way, so I think that's right, but I'm not sure about this last bit.
2) The Injector (Schick brand) blades I loaded into the magazine get stuck and don't want to come out through the slot. It worked once, and then jammed the next 2 times (I needed to disassemble the thing twice). That was with the brass colored tab facing the inside.
3) How do you get the razor head to hold the blades more securely? Wrap it in a towel and try to "close" the gap with a pair of pliers? Mine is too loose, unfortunately.

Any help greatly appreciated!

This is why I think mine may be a little later as you can see in my pictures, it's quite different.
the lever is supposed to stop you ejecting a blade half way then retracting the slide picking up another blade and jamming that out the slot too!
I think on yours the small brass strip spring thing should be outwards. I would think the slide would always have trouble getting past it.
I imagine that as the first blade is ejected it tips the lever up against spring pressure at the head end hence down at the back pushing the stack of blades down just enough to stop the next being collected by the slide when it is retracted.
Of course you could try without it in as long as you were careful to only fully eject one blade before trying again.

To close the head spring I inserted a round metal bar into the back of the blade aperture from the side just large enough to open it very slightly then bent the edge gently down over it evenly along its length by hand to touch the base plate, it will spring back but if done correctly when the bar is then removed it will close up a bit further.

Great post, thanks. I just got one of these and got jammed, it was filled with "cheap" oil (the 3 in 1 kind), gunky , sticky and stinky. A good clean and seems to be working--still not a smooth loader....

I load my repeaters by hand. It's not hard and I don't want to put wear on such an old mechanism

Mostly, but sometimes I just use my fingers.

Great info. It needs to be saved somewhere. I have the A, a couple of B's, and a C model. I had to figure all this out the hard way. Wish I would have found this kinda info back then.

I concur. I just picked up a type C. I knew the info I was looking for was here, I just needed to find it. Watching the thread now.
