Young Johnstone Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I've not opened an 84 up in a while, but if memory serves... you should be able to open the main body up and take the whole lot out!! HTH Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hi, Im not sure whether this is the answer you want to hear but, You can take the entire lid off a t84 and take out/replace both lenses without the need of removing the whole assembly. However I THINK that there is just 4 screws on the front of the lantern that when removed, allow the entire lens assembly to slide out (you will have to completely undo the focusing knobs from the bottom of the lantern) I MAY however be confusing that suggestion with a prelude, im not sure now! :) HTH, Ben.

HTH AlI didn't really explain properly, the lens I have is larger diameter so I need to remove the guides and reposition them further apart so I need the holder out completely to drill out the rivets etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianknight Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 errrrm - that might mean that the lens is a different focal length and so will make the lantern behave very strangely. Before you start drilling, I would call Usedlighting and see if they have lenses about in a 'salvage' bin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
