We got one of our numerous easels down from the attic a few days ago. Teresa felt she couldn’t use it, as a couple of bits are missing.
So I agreed I’d fix it, if poss’. After some measuring, I ordered some parts from Amazon, yesterday. They arrived this afternoon.

I couldn’t find anything quite like what the easel is fitted with (the feet appear to be resin, or something like that). So I just got something that’d do the job.
After adding a replacement foot-pad, it’s time to try and do the same for the missing lobed turn knob. I measured it very carefully, and the ‘male’ thread:
So… I think the ‘pitch’ is 0.8 mm, as pictured above. And I thought the male thread was 4mm…
Sadly the M4 threaded turn knobs I ordered turned out to be too small. So I guess I should’ve ordered M5? I hope they don’t turn out to be some weird imperial thread that’s a bugger to match?
Anyhoo, I’ve ordered M5 knobs, and they should arrive tomorrow. Hope they’ll fit!
