However, mine was in a basement of a now deceased shoe repairman and seems to have not been cleaned in its last many years of usage thus it is pretty well frozen due to iron hard wax build up. So a couple of questions-- after a day of cleaning the wax pot is now visible but I cannot figure how it can be removed...is it simply slid on its two horizontal rods or is it somehow locked onto the bars by means I have not excavated to? 2nd question: the hand wheel is also frozen and it seems to be gear locked down in the cast iron bowels. Any suggestion would be appreciated- your blog is most valuable to me and very much appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955103543309027028noreply@blogger.com
