Time for the next adventure: replacing the drive cam on the crowner. Ours is the older model, with the UHMW plastic cam. Years of running with the occasional crown and broken glass mixed with grease has worn this part to the point it barely works. The part of the cam that pushes the crowner through the bottom of its stroke is worn flat for about 8 inches, having lost almost an inch of material at the lowest point. We bought a new, SS cam, which isn't here yet but it seems like time to start tearing the old one out. Victor from AWS Pros. estimated that it should be about a full day's job from start to finish. He also warned me that there is a large nut with left-hand threads somewhere in there, so I'll have to keep my eyes open.
Wish me luck--
