Installing electric motor on H16 - do I need to remove the spring motor handle

Hey everyone,

 

Have searched the internet far and wide for this info but hoping someone here knows the answer.

 

I have a 1960 H16 REX which I've been using for a while with the hand-wound spring motor. I picked up an electric motor on ebay and am struggling a little to figure out how to install it.

 

The electric motor's mounting screws line up perfectly with a mounting point to the left of the fps selector, and the center of the spring motor's hand winder. Which would imply that I need to remove the hand-winder to install the motor.

 

Is this indeed the case and does anyone have any instructions for the steps to uninstall said hand-winder so I can install the motor?

Thanks

Tom

The winding crank is attached to the mechanism by a Left Hand M 5 thread. To remove it you fold it up onto the lug, hold it against the internal stop, i. e. take away slack clockwise, and free it with a dry smack on the handle clockwise. Unscrew
