At any rate, I took it down to Richard Polt, and he managed to figure out that you twist the platen knob to unscrew it. He said it took a lot of force. Just posting here in case anyone else ever needs to know. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10351192808868229452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877281529217716593.post-90564907982103254922015-06-29T12:46:50.729-07:002015-06-29T12:46:50.729-07:00I've never had to remove the platen from a Rhe...I've never had to remove the platen from a Rheinmetall, but I bet the first step would be to remove the panels on each end of the carriage (if yours is like this one).x over ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15734152691021327395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877281529217716593.post-64262413475995603102015-06-29T12:34:06.316-07:002015-06-29T12:34:06.316-07:00Nick, your instructions worked well for removing t...Nick, your instructions worked well for removing the carriage, so thanks so much for posting. Having experience with Rheinmetalls, I'm hoping you can help me... I acquired a Rhenmetall that belonged to my grandfather. Apparently he 'liberated' it from Germany when he was there during the war. It is mechanically in decent shape, and very cool with the umlauts and some special German symbols, but it is in desperate need of new feed rollers and a platen recovering. Do do this, I have to get the platen and feed rollers off, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the platen off. Do you know how to do this? [I may have posted this question twice, not sure. My first is not showing up, but maybe it needs approval. If so, just pick whichever post you want and discard the duplicate.] thanks!
