Got some time to rip into the mill over the last couple of days. The new transformer is in and working beautifully. I also pulled the gear selector panel off the side to start looking for the clunking sound. I am 90% certain I found it.
A look inside the mill with the selector panel off
The back of the selector panel. Notice the glob of brass on the lower right fork.
A couple of terrible closer pics
Another terrible pic of after I beat down some of the lumps and contoured the brass a bit. Depending on how hard my OCD kicks in I may do more file work on it.
The picture doesn't show it well but I knocked down some big lumps of brass on the side of the fork. I suspect this is where my noise was coming from.
I did run the mill with the side off for a couple of minutes just to make sure I wasn't getting noise from somewhere else.
