I designed and built a spindle lock mechanism

[Juanca]

For those who own a PM-833T and 833TV, I'm sure that you've found that locking the spindle is not easy. I have developed a spindle lock mechanism. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested, email me at jcpiderit@gmail.com

Looks like a good idea

Great job!
But, the head on the 833T is very different with the geared head, although it has been a long time since I had my front panel off.

I have an 833TV. I'm interested. I've been using a butterfly air ratchet that doesn't require me to lock it.
