In that case, yes, I'm trying to disassemble the whole thing. So it is helpful to know to try and remove the quill first. Still not sure how to do even that
I think I have loosened all there is to loosen without banging on or forcing anything. I need to come up with a contraption that will exert a lot of pulling force on the whole quill/spindle assembly. I suspect it was press-fit together 80+ years ago!
I just obtained a 19?? Canedy-Otto Royal 16. I'm starting to disassemble it for restoration, and I can't figure out how to remove the spindle. And advice you have will be truly appreciated!
