Hello Guys,
I replaced the Glass on My 1680 with a gen Tropic 127 :Jumpy:
And i must say that was a hard job to do it,because i have no Crystalpress.....
I sarted to lift up the retaining Ring like Ubi do (Ubi thank you for that)....
I took a razorblade to pull up the retaining ring,i pulled around the hole retaining ring...
That was an easy job,after i put off the Ring there was no gasket between the case and the ring :huh:
I put of the old glass, that was easy,also installing the gen one....
I put a gasket between the case and the retaining ring and pushed the ring down.......
.... nothing, i pressed with a plastic ring that matched the case with the Retaing ring ....nothing,not 1mm.
After that i took a screw clamp to push it down and it works...
Man, if you don't have the right tools its so difficult to do this.....
I think thats my next purchase....
Ok hard work but its done....
and here the result....
Damm i love this Vintage Rollies...... :Jumpy:
Next step is to install a Gen Tub and Crown
Hope you like ,opinions are welcome...........
