Seb Mini question.

[Richard Casey]

I recently acquired a older Mini and there was no manual. While shooting, the coax handle rotates when moving to center on the target. I see that the center shaft has a bearing attached to it. My question, is the coax shaft meant to spin freely inside the body. Seems kind of awkward, the handle rotating while manipulating it. Or does one of the set screw tighten the center shaft?

There are two screws on the underside of the block that will tighten that down for you.

OK, so it is meant to spin freely in the body? Thanks

If the 2 screws on the body are loose, then yes, the entire top will spin. Mine has the little black knobs that you can pull out on a little bit and adjust where the knobs end up when tight.

OK got it. Set screw stoped the handle spin. Thanks.

You can set the 'rotational resistance' of the center shaft / joystick according to your liking by the set screw on the bottom.
