I went to a great auction with my sons last week. Greg got a virtually unused LR32 system, in the old style systainer, for $100 (vs. $495). When we got it home, we realized that while it is virtually identical to mine, the knob said "FESTO" and the unit was missing the two screw holes (and screws) needed to attach it to the OF1400 that he has. Apparently, the older jigs only worked with OF1010 routers.
The local Ace Hardware had the two 6mm screws, so we had to figure out how to precisely locate the two 1/4" holes needed to align the jig with the holes in the OF1400 base. Initially, we thought about measuring or some scheme using double faced tape and the base of the OF1400, but then I realized that any measurements were likely to be slightly off.
I have a ShopSmith, so I set it up as a drill press, chucked in a 1/4" bit, and ran the quill down through one of the holes in my (newer) jig with the holes. Then, I aligned the table's fence against one edge of my jig, and I clamped a Rockler Clamp-it Assembly Square to the fence so that it was against the adjacent edge, raised the bit, removed mine from the table, placed his in the same position, and drilled it. I did the same for the other hole, and voila, it's now OF1400 compatible!
