I have a Woodvil that has very little use and has been sitting for a bit on a shelf. Well I decided that I needed to show it some love, filled it up with juice & a fresh battery, slapped an atty on top and went to pull off the top cap and the whole 510 seemed to rise up out of the Woodvil atty and all.
Surprised the heck out of me. Upon close examination, it looks like the 510 assembly is just press fit into a hole in the wood and the only thing keeping it from not just tearing out completely is the soldering joint with wiring going to the positive battery terminal?
First picture is all the way down (like it should be) Second picture is what happens when I go to pull the top cap of an atty off. It's so loose that I had to push the whole assembly up from the bottom to shoot a picture of it, because it freely move up and down and won't stay up unless I push up "lightly" from the bottom.
Does this just need to be glued back in? I can't see any nut that needs tightened, it just looks press fit, which doesn't seem very secure. Although I've had another Woodvil for even longer, with much more use put on it and it's 510 seems rock solid.
