Re: Wulff Primus free play help needed

I agree with everyone else in that your machine hasn't the free play option fitted.
The Primus was available with that option, there is one in the next auction which also has a "TILT" mechanism and a Restart on the first reel.
However, I think I might have spotted something in your photos which I think you should investigate before you do anything else.
If you take a good squint at the following enlarged photo of your handle hub ………….
................ it looks as if the trigger is resting in a cut on the disc that shouldn't be there.
I suggest, while watching from the back you just pull the handle and see if the trigger bites into that small cut and activates everything.
If it does, get some course emery cloth or a mild file and smooth it out. The trigger is supposed to engage with the large cut out in the same disc further up on the curve.
