i assume you mean the thrust plate, it acts as a wearable pad for the armatur to run on these will wear remove and inspect for damage a small hole is a sure sign of wear.

remove the gearbox cover (nameplate) make sur the worm gear from the armature is spinning when switched on, if not turn off there is an internal problem. if it does move then check the condition of the gear it may have some teeth missing.

well the 76 and the golden a5 are almost the same the name plates are different and the 76 uses a toggle switch but the a5 uses a rocker switch. not sure about the crewmaster sorry.

check the thrust plate at the end of the armature inside the gearbox any sign of wear replace, take the gear and lever out and test to see if the noise is still there if it is it could be either a faulty bearing or a faulty armature (armatures can run out of balance) all clipper repair parts for the oster are at www.angliaclipperservices.com .

tricky i should return the clipper to the repair centre with a desciption of the fault, there shouldnt be anything related to the housing problem.

sounds like the brass inserts have pulled away from the body housing of the clippers (these are where the hinge screws are located into the body) if they are pulling out you require a new body available at www.angliaclipperservices.com .

Disconnect the blade and ensure the drive Lever is moving if it is apply pressure to the lever and make sure it still moves.
There could be a problem with the Gear Wheel inside the gearbox, check for strpped teeth or even a loose post holding the gear and drive lever into place, relavent clipper repair parts can be found at www.angliaclipperservices.com .

could be the spring is faulty on thie hinge assembly or the tip of the latch has brocken off not securing the blades to the clipper, either way check to see if the blade will disconnect from the clipper without depressing the latch. related clipper parts can be found at www.angliaclipperservices.com

hi, make sure the srews are very tight, also check to see if the brass inserts are pulling out of the housing if they are you require a new body housing. www.angliaclipperservices.com

before adjusting spring pressure check the two screws either side of the hinge *** make sure they are tight and also check to see if this component has pulled away from the body.

John! No Problem!
First put the bigger of the two blades witht the size/number facing down, put the cutter on top. (with the side with the flat side of the teeth facing down) Then put the tongue guide inside the tension spring, make sure the tension spring rail is on the tension rail and place them on top of the cutter.

This picture whows the front and back, it differs slightly from your blade, but its same meat different gravy!

With the hinge of the clipper facing you:
Make sure hinge is open, if it is not, prize it open with a flat head screwdriver.
Slide the blade on with the blade siz/number faceing you.
Snap shut.
If this fails, try again, but push the latch in as you snap them shut.
If this fails, you may need repair!

OK compressed air is perfect for your clipper, thats all it needs! Take the filters off (at the bottome of the clipper, either side of the cable) periodically and clear from excess fur. Replace. As far as the blades are concerened, Brush the excess furr off with a toothbrush or similar. Slide the cutter (smaller of the 2 blades) to one side (past half way but not all the way off!) clean exposed teeth on both blades with a bit of oil and a toothbrush, push the cutter the other way and repeat. Blade wash's tend to rust the blades, you need a big pot of WD-40. Get a 5 litre tub from the internet, only thing is there, postage will be a killer. I work for a clipper repair, blade sharpening company and we have it delivered by the truckload! Do what you do with the blade wash, but do it in WD-40. Wipe off excess afterwards and dont soak the clipper in any liquid because of electrc shock.
Thats all you can do! When your blades go blunt or clipper needs service repair: www.sheareaseltd.com If I have helped you please tell your friends about our website! Thank you!

No problem! Dura Edge is just a fancy name! You can get an Oster or wahl, moser. I work with these every day of my life! Either way, they all fit and work. I work for Shear Ease Ltd. Go to www.sheareaseltd.com they dont have the price for that one on the website but phone them and Colin will give you a price for one and they'll send it out same day.

It is just part of how Oster clippers are. You can try to alternate blades, and spray them with Kool Lube, but they just get warm.
In the event that you would like to sell them or be rid of them, I use their parts to try and fix low income housing clippers.

have you had the blades sharpened by a professional company, you should be able to get around 25 cuts per blade if correctly sharpened. If you have what about the clippers try replacing the Lever which is located at the drive end and goes from side to side.
