SAECO #382 3 cavity refurb help needed.

[MarkK]

Rescued these at the flea market today($15), brought'm home and cleaned them up. Exterior banged up some but cavities are in excellent shape. However the blocks have a little play in them - I suspect I need new aligning pins (?). Blocks don't close completely either and I see sunlight at the interface - could they be warped?! Sprue cutter present. All other parts need replacing - where to get handle screws, pins etc.? Thanks!

Transfer the pins from the male side to the female side, the holes may be waddled out. Inspect the mold faces for burrs around the pin holes and other places and also look for lead splatter on the faces.

Mine always get a very hard antimony buildup in the female pins right around the outside of them. Check to see if they rock from corner to corner on the opposite sides of the pins. If you see anything but smooth holes then try to get it out with exacto blade or something hard but be very careful not to scratch anything up....
