Just in case you are in your right mind and bought this table, I am attaching the factory listing for the 500 series tables and the manual that you'll need to get it apart.

I'm also a fan of those anti gravity allen wrenches. Those might be worth millions to spacecraft developers.

Sorry to rain on your parade ... but you have a misspelling in your post. That's "Alien" wrenches, not "Allen."

Evaporust will fix that right up. If there's no pitting it will look new in 24 hours.

I want it for $100!
Disassemble, soak in Evaporust, lap top of it, reassemble, make cool stuff.

I picked it up. Having never handled one in person, I expected the table to slowly turn as the crank is turned, but it doesn’t. The crank turns with reassuring resistance but the table isn’t moving. Either there’s a clutch thing going on that I’m not aware of, or there’s something going on between the worm and ring gear. Won’t know until I get it apart.

I’d think that these things are fairly robust and hard to break, but we’ll see.

Thank you very much for this!

Typically there a lever near the Crank, which "cams" the worm gear in and out to adjust backlash and allow the table to rotate freely before engaging the crank. It may be in the "out" position.

Btw, some use a ring vs a lever.

Just looking the manual "mikey" provided.... Looks like yours uses a ring to move the worm gear in and out, and a t-bolt (#11) to lock the ring.

I took some notes when I disassembled and reassembled my table. If you're interested, I'll dig them up and post them here. Let me know.

Did you get those misc items shown with it in the pic as well?
