Need help identifying retracts
Now before somebody gets silly
, I know they are Robart(thanks to the bold black lettering
), and they rotate, but that's about it. I'm guessing that they're mechanical. What I'd like to know is if there is a specific model # (no I didn't see one), or what plane they might fit. While you're at it, there are a couple more sets, both mechanical, one set is Robart. The other, I have no clue. They are spring assisted. The last I know....Carl Goldberg

On the Robart site http://www.robart.com there are 'dimensional drawings' for some of their models.

RE: Need help identifying retracts
Found my answer. According to the guys at Robart, these are the old #102 rotating retracts. They could be actuated by a servo or by an air cylinder. They were replaced around 1990 with Robart #615's.
