Mk10 creep

...well it's off to Singler's School of Sharpening for your Mr.

Micro Mesh ordered

 

[Open Ocean Diver]

Received micro mesh but now after looking at the knife edge closer, I’m wondering if it’s actually repairable?

Ouch! I think I'd now be piston shopping, or maybe an entire stage, with this one becoming a parts donor/ parts supply. Would be educational to try, but not being overly optimistic.

I'm no expert, but I'm with Bob on this one. Good luck. Maybe the good Dr can give you an expert prognosis.

 

[buddhasummer]

I was unable to get new ones, was told NLA, I'm sure I could hear laughter.

Of course if that photo was taken under an electron microscope it might not be that bad.

 

[rhwestfall]

Yeah, it will be nothing newly made. Really old stock or spare parts scavenged from donor stages...

It’s probably doable. It’s a good reason to move on from the MK5 since MK25 can be found cheap, 20’s cheaper or for even less mk10’s and with the newer choices you get a lot more parts compatibility including the least expensive DIN conversions.

Considering the magnification used in the photo when compared to Rob's it might be worth a shot, especially now that you have a micro mesh kit. I would start with courser grit-probably 400.

Rob's MK7 piston

You likely can find a MK-5 as a donor that has the old turret, and thus justifies a dirt cheap price....

(I only now realized it was a MK-5 as a discussion - title was 10, and I missed the correction...)
