Hi everyone,
I picked up a cool super spacer at an auction. It's a Nikken RSI-5 from 1974, similar to the more recent SRI-150. I've been searching for information about it, and the best I could find was a thread from about 12 years ago. I emailed the current company, and they responded by saying there are no manuals or spare parts for this model.
Does anyone on this forum have one of these? There are a couple of things I can't figure out:
1. There's a knurled knob/bolt that I can't figure out. When it is screwed in, it prevents the index disengagement lever from locking in the disengaged position. The bolt has an internal recess for a small brass piece inside the threaded hole. I'm at a loss.
2. It has a 5c collet nose piece, but it appears to be missing a threaded piece that would attach from the rear of the device. I'm imagining a drawbar of sorts.
If anyone has any information on how this works, or how the accessories are used, I would appreciate it. A manual would be fantastic! Thanks!
