Edison Amberola 30 brake
Hi, everyone. I have an Amberola 30 that works perfectly except for the brake, which doesn't seem to works at all. I have tried to get a picture of the underside of the brake lever so I can see what's missing -- a pad of some kind, I assume -- but I can't. Can someone out there send me a picture or two of what a functional brake lever should look like? And if anyone has any tips for buying or making what mine is missing, those would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Re: Edison Amberola 30 brake
Have you removed the gear cover? That will give you a view of the business end of the brake.
There should be a felt pad that contacts the governor disc: it may need to be replaced.

Thanks, Bill. I have removed the gear cover, and also the grille, and I still can't seem to get a good look at it. I'm guessing you're right about the felt pad; any suggestions for what to use, or what size it should be?
