Manual for magicmill II
i have just been given a Magicmill II by an elderly friend who used it for years. I am very excited to use freshly ground flour for my bread baking but it would be nice to have a manual. I have looked hard on the net but can’t seem to find a copy. Does anyone here have a digital copy?
Thank you!

I have never seen or used that mill, but there are a few youtube videos on it, and some on another mill which looks identical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0QByDH6bh8

I have used the version III for ages and have the manual around here somewhere ... but I found these pictures of the manual for model II in an eBay sale of the grinder:

Thankyou Andy Panda, that is very helpful.

These grinders are quite old - they are supposed to have an airtight seal where the top fits into the pan, but that gasket gets old and doesn't seal well. It still grinds OK - but the tighter the seal, the finer you can grind (the grind fineness is controlled by airflow) but the biggest problem of a poor seal is that you get flour dust all over. I used to go outside to grind because I got tired of flour dust coating the house.
Recently I tried an experiment and custom cut some weatherstrip material and it's a really tight fit (takes some muscle to put the top on the base and get it back off after grinding) but now I don't get so much dust in the house.
The black gasket is the original (mine is a model III) and the white gasket is what I recently added. Wish I'd done this gasket years ago - it really works so much better!
Hi, I have recently found Magic Mill III but I couldn’t find the manual. I wonder how to clean the mill and is it possible to open the screws and clean the inside. I understand that many advice milling a cheap rice will help with the cleaning but I did find dust inside the cyclo cup holder as well as the filter. Appreciate your comments. :)
Suzanna,

I just finished cleaning an old mill that was given to me, bought new filters, a separator cup, and cleaning brush from Pleasant Hill Grain, and did a test run...
Yikes! I was powdered from head to toe with fresh flour because the gasket had completely crumbled and the seal is no longer air tight. I see you added a second gasket by using weather stripping (that was going to be my option) but I don't really have a "first" gasket since it's pretty much crumbled to the surface in some places.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

It appears that a new company - https://thekitchenmill.com/ - is producing essentially the same mill and sell the F filer and replacement gaskets. They have said the F filter fits in the magic mill II and I'm getting one to see if it'll fit in mine.
