To all of my fellow World Tandemites,
I would like to take this opportunity to find any of you who have any knowledge of the actual pieces of the World Tandem Labelers. These machines were developed before the concept of product obsolescence was created and are intended to run forever with proper maintenance and care. Currently I am in process of blueprinting and reverse engineering a few of my high wear parts, and I would like to eventually offer those to my fellow World Tandemites creating a sort of World Tandem Hive of Knowledge. This being said, if there are currently any blueprints out there, that might save me some time (and money) anyone would like to share, that would be most excellent. Currently I have the available Patent Dwgs, and a photocopied version of the manual from the Economic Machinery Company.
In addition to making some blueprints, and reverse engineering a few things, I am still searching for the "reference drawings" R-8861, R-5360 and R-13462 that are supposedly found under the back cover of my 20 year old photo copied version of the manual. The current parts on my list are: Aluminium label pickers, Bottle feed spacing and feeding wheels, glue roller (brass), and the transfer roller (rubber). Now I do understand that the labelers are not all identical, but if we get a form and function, fit of parts can be adjusted accordingly.
Anyone interested? I have a feeling we are all looking for something that one of us has or has knowledge of. Please contact me here or Email me @ BJMJOS@gmail.com
