To remove the adheasive left behind from the tape Try rubbing with ordinary cooking oil and an old rag. It really works . Glad you have your machine working, they are lovely machines to use. | ||

eucalyptus oil is fantastic for removing glues, especially sticky tape residue. | ||

Thank you for all the advices the suggestions worked fine, used both WD 40 (that weakened the adhesive) and then turpentine, I tried Corn Oil also before but it just didn't work for me....

Ah Ah...thank you! Yes I'm so happy to have this machine working and with all the original things thanks to Austin's donor! That's a dream! I couldn't hope in such generosity and luck! It seemed impossible task to find all the spares indeed I was lucky! And I'm so glad for it!

Servis supertwin MK2
Congratulations Freddy on getting your Servis twinny up and running after the issues with the shipping, you had more courage than I would have had organising that one!!, these gearboxes just purr for years, mums machine was used for 16 yrs at least 3 times a week, sometimes 4 for a family of 6 with only one spin motor and a twinline hose changed - but then again this was the time when the supertwin was regularly "Serviced by Servis" every year, rather like car maintenance!!
Did you get the glue off? sometimes low temp heating with a hairdryer can help to release it!! | ||

Hi Mike, yes thanks the glue came off easily with WD 40 and turpentine, sorry I took so long to reply but I was busy organizing things (I'm in the USA now, writing from NYC)....
All is well that ends well they say....and have to thank Austin that made it possible,of course I didn't expect that hurting shipping as Fedex usually works well, but S**t happens.... glad it's all fixed now... Thank you guys for taking the time to say yours about.... | ||
