You’ll find all the calibers listed in the drop down on the right.

By paper I meant the pdf file viewed in iBooks on an (his) iPad, unless there was a real benefit in printing it out.
If there’s a YT video showing the disassembly and reassembly, then that might work just as well, if not better.

You definately more computer literate than I am! I couldn't even open the document on a mobile device and had to use desk top! But YouTube on iPad perfect. I did print so that you can just make sure you get the parts and sequence correct. Working well.

Just checked – the portal doesn’t work on Safari (might be flash based), but if you’ve downloaded the pdfs, you can sync them across to his iPad via iTunes or simply attach to an email and send it to his account.
Either way, he’ll have them on it to view, etc, if anything happens to the printed one.

Is it already back together ?

Taking apart will work for me

Pretty sure of that

But . . . getting it all back together and running correctly ?

Probably he will manage to get it done the right way

Keep us posted

If your son gets it done I'll give it a shot myself !

Got my new Beco's

I just need a movement holder and a # 2 & 5 Dumont tweezer

And some oil and oilers and a Presto tool and a crystal press and . . . . 😂

Have a look at ofrei or tzschool. At his eye sight is just so much better and dexterity in holding the tools incredible.
