Lever pins on gens aren't completely flush with the top surface (at least not that I've observed). The first 2 pics are of my gen.
The 87 is a little lower than it should though. Also, my measure of success isn't too stringent.
1. Did I break anything taking it apart? No? Woohoo!
2. Can I put everything back together? Yes? Yeehaw!
3. Do I have "spares" after everything is back together? Yes? Uh oh.
4. Does it still work?
5. Does it look worse than before? No? Whoopee!
6. Do I have to sheepishly email The Zigmeister?
