I am having a problem with a PW ZW. The L shaped bracket in the photo below (has a black wire attached to it) moves when you operate the handle causing the edge of the bracket to rotate and touch the transformers' metal frame and short out. I've had this ZW for many years and it has always operated great. It is as if this L bracket piece is supposed to be stationary and not move with the handle. I hope my explanation of the problem, and the photo makes sense.
Thanks,
Ed

That piece should point straight down. There is a slot that it fits in to prevent it from turning.

Bill,
Thanks for the help. That makes sense as I noticed when the problem happened that the pin that holds everything on the handle shaft had worked its way out of one side of the retaining clip. I guess that was enough to allow this piece to drop out of its slot. I can't get to fool with it right now, but do you think I can just rotate the piece back into its slot or am I going to have to take it apart To do that.
I've had it an awfully long time and I'd hate to mess it up any more than it is trying to fix this.
Thanks,
Ed
