Thanks for that Brett, that got it working! Here's a test without any beans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZs2H7DrPHU And here's a test that I left running for 30 minutes with 600g of green: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fai070do1ww&feature=youtu.be A couple of points:
- I've definitely still got some driveshaft alignment issues - the holes between the roast chamber and the insert liner aren't perfectly aligned. I need to fix this
- It looks to me as if the older blade (it's slightly darker in colour) needs to be straightened out - the beans on the newer blade are getting more agitated than the ones on the older blade - would anyone else agree?
- I think I'll do that spring mod. It sounds like beans are getting caught under the agitator blades.
Nevertheless, I think I'll have a go at roasting those beans tonight even as it is. A heck of a lot of chaff was left in the insert liner even on this test run. Not quite as much as I've seen at the end of a full roast, but I wonder if it wouldn't be worth leaving the beans in there to de-chaff for 30 minutes or more, discarding the chaff, then doing the roast?
