Whew. I tried phoning Karps again this morning and they picked up!!!. Seems the move of locations has not gone as well as it should but now they are back! Promised my project would be finished next week. Finger crossed!! Thanks all for the input.

Thanks

I found a better picture of the cylinder:

Thanks. I will take you up on the offer. While I am still hopeful that they may pick up the phone, would you please have a look for the booster and the valve? Here are some bad picture pictures; the valve first and the booster below:

Does anybody know what the story is about Karps Power brakes? I sent then the brake booster and valve from my 1933 KA for rebuilding at the beginning of October. Emails, phone calls have not been acknowledged and now their phone message says they have moved but "the mail box is full". Worrisome.

My first post here. I hope it works. Help Please!! I wonder if anyone out there can tell me how to remove the hubs on my 1933 Lincoln KA.

Thanks for the input. I found a "Book of Instruction Lincoln V12 - 136" -- first edition, printed January 1933. The people at the club library scanned it for me last Friday. As you say, it is a very good book. Finding it made my day!! I do understand that there was not a specific shop manual for the car but on your encouragement I will keep looking for the service manuals. My car is the one recently sold by Dragone (pictured in the latest "Fork & Blade"). I will post pictures soon.

Thanks. It is good to know that manuals do exist. I will keep looking. This is my first pre war car so the learning curve will be a bit steep. The first issue that has jumped out is the mechanical (!!) brakes which pull aggressively to the right.

I have just purchased a 1933 KA. Does anybody know where I could access or buy a shop manual and an owner's manual?
