Wallstreet replacement hinges ?
Posted by: galgot on 2017-03-07 01:36:09
Anybody tried doing some replacement ? Maybe machining some in a stronger metal ?

I have several Wallstreets , each of them has more or less some looseness in the screen lid rotation. I know this means it's gonna break some time and hold my breath each time I open one...

Likewise, interested in acquiring new hinges. Wallstreet PDQ.

Found this old page on LEM :

Looks good, but you need the tool to do it...
