Replacing a broken elevation foot...Eiki (Elf) NT-0

If there's a will...there's a way. Replacing a broken elevation foot on a Eiki (Elf) NT-0 with a wooden one. My brother-in-law cut several for me in his workshop. Works like a charm

Very nicely done Doug! You don't realize the importance of that piece until you've been without it.

Very cool! I have a broken rear stand on my Eumig myself. You got me inspired now. I will look into it and see if I can make one in wood myself.

How about a complete projector made only from wood?

Love to see how the amplifier, motor and transformer would work!!

I also want to thank David Fouracre for providing me with a piece of tubing and instructions for repairing the focus control shaft. The original spongy material rots over time and crumbles. David's solution was simple and works great.
