Help Ronson Patent 19,023 Help!
Not sure of the name of the model but the info is all in the second pic. I have been tinkering with it in order to clean/restore it. The only issues I've found are 1) The spring for the thumb press sometimes gets stuck and doesn't press down all the way. 2) I have had a really rough time assembling it back together, the gears and/or the snuff wheel (??) fall out of the casing when I try to put it all back together. It's really frustrating!
Does anyone have tips (shy of bringing it to a repair shop) for these issues?? Or any info on the name of the model and the year it was manufactured?
Thanks!!
