TUMBLER FRONT BEARING AND PADS
At the bottom inside of the tumbler
front are two polyteflon bearings which
rest on cork pads. These bearings
provide a surface for the front of the
tumbler to ride on. If it is necessary to
replace a front bearing, remove the
tumbler front, drill out old rivets and
rivet new bearings on. In positioning
the bearing and pad, the projections on
both should face the tumbler. This
allows the bearing to stick out beyond
the metal of the tumbler front.
·Bearing
Note: Two tabs on each side of the
tumbler front fit into notches in the front
of the cabinet. These must be disen-
gaged to remove tumbler.
TUMBLER FRONT SEAL
The seal fits around the back circumfer-
ence of the tumbler front. It is a natural
felt seal which is doubled over for self-
adjusting tension. The surface which
comes in contact with the revolving
tumbler, is coated with a layer of Teflon
to provide a slick durable wear surface.
The seal is held in position by formed
locking tabs.
