I feel sure there must be someone using this forum - perhaps someone with a name of Eastern European origin? - who has experience with these old Russian designs.

Have you considered booking a Flange Help stall at Street Fair?

Thanks all, I really am at my tethers end with this one. If all else fails I am just going to have buy a new one from Argos, but I would feel I am selling out to the multi nationals a tad.

I think if you just tweek the left nipple this will give the ripple effect you need to reset the node, but be carefull of you flange when completeting this reset,it has been known to be fatal.

great to see the web-site being used as it was intended, for exchange of local knowledge! Good luck with the re-framing, Don, let us know if you get your node sorted.

A nice piece of kit, Don! I'm sure there are lots of people around Charlbury who could do this kind of job, but why not just get hold of the old Russian manual at a car-boot sale and do it yourself?

I have recently bought an old flange curruptor for an Indigo packer distribution unit. I have experienced some problems with the node on the grating board and wondered if anyone knows anyone who could re frame the pitch convertor? This is the old Russian design so the adjusting nipples work from left to right and the switch is stuck in the idle mode.
