Curado 200 Spool Bearing Pin

[philaroman]

I've been saving various tiny broken drill bits, in case I ever need to make one of those pins
am I wasting my efforts -- any reason why that wouldn't work?
are Dremel cutting wheels & jewelers diamond-dust file good enough for the cut & touch-up?

no, that will work!  you might want to look into one of those drill bit sharpeners, though!!!!

Thanks & Happy Birthday!!!  sharpener won't help; snapped -- not, dull; not much left above the smooth SS that goes into the choke...  hence, the re-purposing



Zimbass (or anyone),

somewhere I have a couple pre-Curado Bantam Coriolis (100?)...  damaged thin-graphite frames, chewed-up gears & dog/pawl A/R's -- not worth restoring, BUT! the spool assemblies are fairly modern/high-end, same/similar to above photo & PRISTINE -- any idea if they would fit an early-model Curado/Citica

Most of these older spools look similar, but have different spool widths, and/or shorter/longer spool shafts.

I have not found anything from those early models that would fit the Curado or Citica B series.

Cheers.

Thanks. I definitely have not seen that arrangement in a Curado before.
