Baron Backstay adjuster

[Erwin Swart]

My current backstay adjuster from Baron needs maintenance though cant find any info on the web.
Does anyone recognize the adjuster and have a manual and know where to collect spare parts?

It's a Barbarossa unit isn't it? Diagram of similar http://www.harken.com/uploadedfiles/Product_Support/PDF/M1006.pdf

Harken bought Barbarossa and can be very helpful in tracking down any spares that still exist.

I have decoupled the tensioner, everything is in order but the roller bearing is a bit worn out a need to be changed! Harken has been contacted and they addressed me somewhere else because Baron is not Barbarossa and in any case they have spare parts! The shop they addressed me sold me a roller bearing which does not fit! The solution is to change it with a deril bushing! It a very simple tensioner to maintain!
