• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Serpentine Vienna hinge replacement

    I just acquired this Serpentine Vienna regulator. I have fallen love with the design. The case is in overall good condition with the exception of widespread delamination of veneer on the interior. More on that later. My immediate question is how to re-hang the door.
