Hi everyone, its been a long time since I've posted in coffeesnobs. I trust the forum remains as friendly and helpful as it was when I was last here.
A few years back I bought a second hand Compak K6. Not sure of its background bit I think it had done time in a commercial environment. Its been in use at the office since I bought it. The burr carrier was always misaligned with the grinder body and the hopper was on a tilt - I never understood why and never investigated - till now.
I disassembled the grinder today. I've identified 2 core problems which need to be fixed.
1. It has a broken outlet - the plastic bit that channels the ground coffee into the dosing chamber. I think it also needs an o-ring - this was completely missing.
2. The rubber mounts where the bottom burr carrier mounts the body of the grinder are worn out.
I've been able to find the part no (K00008) for the outlet commercial link removed per site posting policy (sorry mods - you can see the outlet in the parts diagram readers) and the gasket (K00103) as seen in parts diagram (http://www.compakgrinders.com/docs/K6_D.pdf).
but I'm struggling to identify the part number(s) for the rubber mounts from the parts diagrams. I also cannot find a supplier.
Can anyone assist?
