After my first successful restoration of a Fat Boy (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=113872) I couldn't stop there.
As said in the above thread I also got 2 Slim Adjustable's.
One of them had been the victim of abuse and maltreatment and unfortunately couldn't be saved
.
The other however stood a pretty good chance, so "on to the operation table".
The adjustment knob could be turned from 1 to 3 and then stopped. The doors opened pretty good and all-in-all it looked not bad.
It turned out that the small metal blade/stick (sorry, don't know the English word for it) that makes it click was damaged. Beyond repair unfortunately.
The disassembly went almost problem free. The only "work" I had to do was parting the blade adjustment plate from the actual head, they where almost glued together with dirt. A good soak in a strong chlorine solution for about an hour took care of that, and after a good rinse I soaked it in vinegar for about half an hour to get rid of the calcium.
Result: After re-assembly the G4 Slim Adjustable now looks good and the mechanical parts are in good working order. The only thing missing is the clicking when turning the adjustment knob, but I can live with that.
The patient has been declared: "Fit for fight"
