Just received replacement Latch arm for Omega 1000. Old one is removed. Can not put the new one. Top part does not slide in. Also noted the old part and new part look different. Base is longer in the old one. Any help is appreciated. This is Omega 1000 juicer bought in the 80s. Daryl

Believe it can be done. You might have to file or shave the new arm a little then seat it as best
as possible and tap it in place with a screw driver and hammer. If you do manage to attach
the new arm and the fit is a little too snug when you latch down the cover, file the upper tip
of the arm for a little more tolerance. Also, believe it or not, a worn blade will produce less
vibration. There is a set screw bottom center. With the juicer fully assembled, unlock it,
turn it clockwise until feed chute contacts the shredder blade and back it off a half turn.
You now have the proper gap between the chute and blade.
