Yep, that's it. The RH platen knob comes off & the rod comes out but the platen seems to be attached to the LH knob & return assembly. It's possible that someone buggered up the LH knob assembly as the center of the knob is open & there are threads inside. Also, there appears to be a copper-colored object inside that will not come out. Both are visible in this picture.

Owe,
I'd be happy to. I have a little more work to do before the "Unveiling"!

Hello all,
I'm Ten Thumbs 'cause that's how I type! I bought a Remington Deluxe Model 5 a few years ago for my WWII Living History display & recently tried to get it working. Turns out my feed rollers have long given up the ghost so I'm trying to replace those & clean up the machine. Other than the rollers, it seems to work just fine.
I came across this forum at the Fedora Lounge & I look forward to learning more about my machine.

Sorry, I had a typo in my original message. It's the LH side that won't come out.
When I got the RH knob off, I was able to see & remove the small screw holding the platen rod & remove the rod by itself. The RH end of the platen raises up like it wants to come out but it won't disengage from the LH side. The LH knob does not have any screw holding it & almost appears to be glued onto a shaft and the center of this shaft open with internal threads.
Many thanks for your advice.

Shangas,
Your instructions were very helpful & I got the right-hand knob off my Remington Deluxe Model 5 but the platen will not disengage from the left-hand knob. There does not appear to be any screws holding the LH knob. Any suggestions? Thanks.
