Recently purchased quite a bit of used equipment. In the batch was a floor corker. Green, says Portugal, but instructions on it are in French.
Drove a few corks in some spare bottles, filled with water with some old corks. Looked good, didn't leak. All good.
Last week, decided to bottle and had a few older synthetic corks I thought I would use up. New ones I bought were cork 1+1.
See pictures of synthetics with slice down length. Not sure if there are replacement parts, but one of the four blocks has a raised edge damaging the cork. No way to adjust that I can see with partial disassembly. No apparent problem on the cork material as I assume it is more flexible.
Any thoughts / recommendations other than buy a new?
Thanks,
