User Grade Aristocrat #21 problems

[majorharden]

Got this a while back. As you can see the guard is bent. I believe from reading other threads that I can bend that out quite easily with a flat head screw driver or/and some pliers?

Of more concern is the silo doors. I don't know what is going on there. You can see one of the hinges goes out a bit more than the other four (third pic: top right hand hinge). The silo arms also look bent (see the top left and the bottom right arms) although I'm not sure if they are meant to have that angle on them. How should I go about fixing this?

These models don't come apart. What i would do is try to grab the door and gently try to reposition it back even with the other one. These are made of brass and can be manipulated easy. I did this to a few of my #15 and a #77 .

Thanks Alex! Can anyone provide a picture of the open top of their 21 (like my third pic). I want to see if the silo door arms are meant to be straight or diagonal.

Note: Can't tell from the Mr Razor pics. Need a direct top down look at it.
