    Default Fixing a Micromatic Head?

    I picked up a Clog Pruf as part of an ebay lot. Pretty beaten up in terms of plating loss but very usable after cleaning.]As I went to shave with it I noticed the top blade cover had about 2mm give in it - backwards and up and down.Anyone had any experience taking these puppies apart?

    Sorry....I did actually go look at mine when I saw your post, but I have no idea how you'd get one of them apart. Sounds like maybe one of the pins that the door rotates on has gotten unseated. Sort of like the pins that hold a watch band in place. If that's it, maybe you could get the pin reseated without taking it apart. The only problem I've ever had with one of them was just a sticky door, but that just took cleaning and mineral oil. If you figure it out, let me know what you find.

    Thanks Ray.
    I just picked up another CG on the bay for 5 bucks. Assuming that one is ok, I'll take my wonky one apart....if I can figure out how.
