Stuck Rotor
A Sorvall Heraeus 6434 swing bucket rotor is stuck on our Soravall RT Legend centrifuge. It's locking mechanism is somewhat different that the "newer"6445 model.
Does anyone have a diagram of the innards, i.e. locking mechanism of the 6434? Thermo-Fisher says the rotor is quite old and they cannot locate any diagrams of it.
Any hints on how to remove it from the centrifuge spindle will be appreciated.
