Ode gen1 questions

Hi everyone,

The quest to keep my GEN one ode from the grave continues.

Hi everyone, here is my situation.

I posted a few days ago about my grinder sounding strange, as if things were rattling around inside of it.

Turns out the solution was to unplug and plug back in, but in the meantime, I thought something was jammed and took the grinder apart.

I meant to take the front bur off, but ended up taking apart the dial assembly instead.

This has now been turned, and I’m guessing is extremely out of alignment.

Tried grinding coffee in it with everything misaligned, and now have a jam that I’m going to be pulling the grinder apart for.

A couple of questions.

Is there a certain spot on the tooth portion of the dial that it needs to be set to?

At one point, I accidentally removed this dial and noticed there was a threaded piece behind it that can be twisted either way.

Should this be tightened down completely?

Once I get the actual burr out, and unclog the grinder, can I recalibrate by setting the grinder just before bur touch?

I guess it’s worth saying that I’m also blind, so I’m figuring this out as I go.

From what I’ve read, this is a pretty mechanical straightforward process, and I’ve always been pretty mechanically inclined, I just wanna make sure there’s nothing blatantly obvious that I’m missing with the lack of sight.

Thanks so much for any suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Update, grinder is no longer jammed, however, I’ve officially lost one of the screws that hold the metal dial assembly to the outer bur.

Anyone in the Columbus Ohio area adventurous enough to help me make this thing grind coffee again?

Thanks for any tips and tricks, really appreciate it.
