It’s a 831-5zd

Am having trouble with this:that thingy doesn’t fit in that there and the gear is touching the machine...can’t get it out...what to do?
You’ll see in the picture...sorry I just found my way back to where this was.

the peg in the gear is below the handle fork? 


I'd try pushing in the u-shaped bracket that's going into the air cylinder as far as you can without the reels kicking and seeing if the reel mech will come out.


if not, push the u-bracket all the way in to spin and hopefully the handle will release up, then partially pushing in the u-bracket should lower the peg enough to clear the fork.

Was able to do as you said and the fork indeed was no longer an issue and was able to clear the fork and remove the reels. 


Thank you

So...was able to find replacement bulbs for the lights behind The glass. At. O'reilly's. One box of 10 for $3. With three boxes that left one not brand new...weird thing is behind the wood that the. Bulbs live was a random bulb way down on the base of the wood...right under and close to a bunches of wires.  Could that be some kind of test bulb??? I can't imagine why it's There you. Certainly can't see through the wood and may heat the wires quicker???

got a picture of the lamp and the area around it, including in the cabinet ...  and the wire colors on the lamp socket?

Need to see the photos.
Is one of the components stuck in the machine?
Since you have two machines, compare the problem with the other machine.

Tried sending the pics..so frustrating...so I believe from what I can see they are sold blue wires attached to that lamp.

I’ll send to wolf talk to post

Not exactly sure what the lamp is for, but I think it is an indicator light.
Possibly trace it back to its source for a better understanding.


Photos have to smaller than 999 KB.
If you have a iPhone or iPad there is an option to reduce the size before sending.
Reducing the actual size to the next size down will reduce them down to around 500 kb.
Of course this depends on how large the the original is, sometimes the medium setting needs to be used
to get the KBs down.

the blue wire on the lamp is wire 20 ... that's the 6V fused power wire on all the lamps.


the color of the other wire on the lamp and where it goes is what you want to figure out.  If it's solid yellow wire 30, then the lamp is a GI (general illumination) light that is on all the time.
