Celesco SM1 12" cable won't retract
Can I take it apart and reset the tensioner?

- #01 I'm talking about this guy. I somehow broke the tensioner.

- #04 The goal was to get the end of the spring back into the slot. I lined them up like this and got the blade back into the slot. Once the 2 halves were sandwiched together, I rotated the top half till the cable retracted all the way up.

I was checking the range and felt the unit shimmy and spring release then no tension. It was very easy to fix. Ive gotten in 6 runs and unit is performing as designed.brentp wrote:Oh no! was it like that as new, or did something happen to prevent it from being able to retract?
