Parts manual needed for FP2 with motor in the base.

[AlfaGTA]

Just went out to the shop and measured the vertical table on my FP2.
It measures 32 3/4 “. +-(830mm).
Guaranteed that machine has 500 mm travels.
Take a look at your slide, should be an inch ruler on top, and it should be marked off to 20+” assuming your machine has inch dials of course.

My late 1966 FP2 serial number 5084 has buttons on top. The parts manual I found is for an older machine.
And of course the X axis travel is 500 mm.

OK, thanks Erik, that clears up the chronology. So I need manuals for a 1966 machine, just need to locate Wrench's CD.

OK, struck out again. Found Wrench's Deckel DVD from 2006 and got a player hooked up to the Mac. All the FP2 manuals on Allen's DVD are for earlier or later machines. i.e. they either showed a machine with a motor mounted in the back, or they showed a machine with On/Off buttons in the middle and 400mm travel.

Erik, that is a great drawing, should be very helpful to the task at hand. Thanks for sharing.

Member Ballen took his machine apart to remove grease.
He has documented it well. That could help some.
