The first two installments in what I hope will be an ongoing series of homemade videos featuring our movers and shakers. Thanks, Tragwag!! (These were filmed on my cellphone. Please forgive the shakicam.)

Presto 6Ns are not all the same! We compare two which are separated by 2420 serial numbers:

And then, we take the platters off and talk about some adjustments to the idler wheels which might improve the torque and speed of your Presto system. Among other things.

These videos are great! Thanks for posting. We need more of this stuff for sure. How about a video of a cut showing the crank in and the lock out groove etc.?

I like these videos. Very informative and indepth on showing different components of the presto 6n.

It would cool to see other peoples set ups and how they operate them.
