Hey everyone!
I pulled this grinder out of the Sacred Equipment Graveyard at my work. I had thought it was an old Super Jolly, but then as I started working on it I immediately noticed that's not the case-- the burrs are 83mm, which I think makes it a Major. It's of the "Rio" vintage.
Anyways, my question is this: I had some new 83mm Mazzer burrs in stock. After cleaning up the grinder and installing the new burrs, however, I notice that there is a significant gap between the burrs and the burr housing--for both the upper and lower assembly. This was true with the old burrs too, causing a lot of gunk to be built up behind them. Wondering if this is a burr/model discrepancy, if there is a missing gasket or other bit to fill that space, or what.
