I picked up a 2002 Harman Accentra last winter with the intention of bringing it back to some level of its former glory and passing it on to someone to enjoy its beauty and ambiance over the coming years. I've finally gotten around to work on the stove and realize that I need some input in part due to changes made between the Accentra and Accentra-2 and my inability to fully comprehend the Harman parts diagram that covers both. I'm really looking for an Accentra expert.
One of the differences between the two Accentra models is the hopper lid hinge system and I believe locking mechanism. My stove has the two separate hinges. It came with no gasket around the glass and some cobbled bolts to attach the glass to the hinges. I obviously need a gasket and appropriate lid screws. I'm not sure if I already have the appropriate latching mechanism. Here's what I can see that I believe is the original locking mechanism. It appear that the metal tab with the small hole in it mounted below the handle of the lid is meant to spring over the ball that projects from the piece mounted below the hopper's rim. Have I got that right?
Thanks so much for any informed replies.
