Ich suche für diese alte Kaffeemühle von Braun Typ 4036 die passenden Mahlscheibe aus Metall (siehe Foto)
Innendurchmesser 25 mm
Ausendurchmesser 39.4 mm
3-Loch Befestigung

Auch fehlt die kleine Kugel und die Feder, die den Auffang-/Vorratsbehälter arretiert. Dafür fehlen mir aber die techn. Angaben.

Gerne auch Teilen. Danke.

Mein schöner 2019 - 27‘ iMac hat seit einem Jahr einen Splitter-Sprung im Display. Schon vor Wochen hatte ich eine neue Scheibe und iFixit-Kit besorgt und nach dem Abbau des Displays eben festgestellt: Die Scheibe und das Display sind so eng verbunden, dass nicht mal iFixit dafür eine Reparaturanleitung zur Verfügung stellt. Ich gehe jetzt weinen und ärgere mich still vor mich hin.

I've been observing this bracket getting more and more bent over the years. The lower part is so crooked the target shafts are almost hitting the LEDs and phototransistors. I've also asked about replacement for this part as it does take quite a beating from direct ball this.

It's not mechanically complex, I might be able to throw something together in CAD. Printing it would require a pretty awkward orientation to prevent it from cracking from the layer seams.

People often diss Doctor Who's mini playfield lift mechanism, mine's pushing 26 years after the initial rebuild and I've never had any issues with that part of it.

Just below the first stage however sits a row of 5 weird looking targets. They're optical, meaning each of them has a IR LED + phototransistor pair, which gets interrupted by the target when it gets whacked by a ball. While the design is very robust, every now and then one of the LEDs gives up the ghost.

The targets are in pretty hard to reach place, which requires pulling the mini playfield out of the game and disassembling the whole front part. When this happens, it gets a full service of regreasing the rails and the gearbox.

Also seen here is my go-to trick for diagnosing optos: just look at them through a digital camera. They always seem to emit at least some visible light even with the modern phones having an IR filter.

We took the chance to remove the old vaseline from the lift mechanism and put some Super Lube's PTFE-vaseline in it. Don't worry about the noisy motor, it was run at 5 volts instead of the normal 12. Next up: what happened to the dead target in the playfield? #pinball #repair
