Help with rigging !

[Magnum_design]

I need help with some simple mechanical rigging. I´ve read all tutorials on the Internet but cannot get this supersimple thing to work. Its 2 moving joints and 2 fixed. 4 parts. My brain is cooked right now and I would really appreciate help with this. Not sure if this is the right place to ask for this. Would appreciate to be pointed in the right direction otherwise " 23d visualisering" on messenger.

If you already found someone to take a look at your problem then all good. If not, then you can send me something to check out and I'll see if I can help

Thank you for answering, So kind of you to offer your help I sorted out the problem by cheating, so everything is animated and ready for rendering now. Thanks again !!

Cheating?
Would you mind to post your solution in a stripped down version? Maybe we can do it the "right way" for the next time.
I love creating mechanical rigs

No problem. I'd also be interested in taking a look to see if it can be done in a 'correct' way, though cheating also works if it gets the job done.
Anecdotally I remember years ago trying to rig what was quite a complex anglepoise lamp. I tried for weeks to do it and asked everywhere online (early internet days).
I gave up in the end because I simply could not achieve it and neither could anyone else
Maybe I can dig it out for a challenge!

I will upload it to a dropboxmap soon. I appreciate if you´d like to give it a try
