A small Lathe from Marketplace for $90
I've been looking for a used lathe at a reasonable price for quite some time. Every now and then, there's a situation in the garage where a lathe is necessary. However, I've never actually used one before, so all my knowledge comes from what I've read or watched in videos-I don't know much about lathes. When I came across the lathe in the video for just $90, I knew it would be worth it in any condition at that price. I wasn't the first person interested, but I was given priority because the seller, a young lady, was in a hurry to sell, and I could pick it up immediately.
When I arrived to collect it, she mentioned that the lathe belonged to her grandfather, who was a passionate model builder. He used it primarily for building small functional ship models, both motorized and sailing, all controlled remotely.
I didn’t test the lathe during pickup; she helped me load it into my car, and once I got it home, I unloaded it and immediately shared it with you in this video.

Russian generator GAB-1-O/230 found on Marketplace for free
มุมมอง 19K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
While browsing Facebook Marketplace, I came across a Russian generator, the GAB-1-O/230. The owner was offering it for free in as-found condition. When I went to pick it up, he told me how it had served him well for many years at his cottage. However, it hadn’t been used in over ten years, and it clearly showed - a broken spark plug, missing ignition cable, cracked fuel hose, and a massive amou...
Garden Table Made From Steel And Wood

I continued working on my project called garden furniture. On todays video I made garden table. This time I was lucky because I didn't have to buy anything. I found all materials around our house. All steel is from trapulin holder on a truck and wooden planks were abandoned on attic for a long time. Luckily choosen wood was not attacked by woodworm. #garden #table #woodtable #steeltable #dyi #p...
Garden Bench Made From Steel And Wood

I needed garden furniture so I started with making a bench. I used some old wooden planks which I found on attic of our house. The steel is from local shop because I couldn't find any suitable for this project. #garden #dyi #welding #wood #steel #creative
Transforming Scrap Iron Into a Grill

I collected pieces of old rusty iron around our house and made a grill out of them. #barbecue #dyi #welding #fire #grinding #creative
Soak the dirty tools in diesel and scrub them with a nylon brush to remove the dirt. A wire wheel will clean off the surface rust. You got more than your purchase price if that tooling cleans up nicely. It's a start!
It looks like a small production milling machine that was converted to a lathe we had a mill similar to this one place I worked in
Soviet gauges that used radioactive paint usually had it on the scale and arrow in the form of orange stripes. Over the years, they have stopped glowing at all due to burnout. If you see something orange that doesn't glow, it's most likely radioactive. Green paint was usually made on the basis of phosphorus, it glows in ultraviolet light and works as a light accumulator, it is not radioactive. Very rarely, a combined phosphorus- and radium-based paint was used. It may be green, but I haven't seen any like it. Even if the paint is radioactive, just do not disassemble your gauge, and the radioactive dust from the paint will remain inside. In any case, you need to use a radiation sensor to be sure. The problem is that radioactive paint emits alpha and gamma radiation, and home meters usually don't sense alpha. To do this, use gas discharge sensors with a mica window. Check the datasheet for your radiation meter.
need to change capacitor
I also think the capacitors might be faulty. I'm considering replacing the entire electronics and motor (with a three-phase one) and adding a frequency inverter to control the speed and direction via the inverter.
For sure it is... low capacity make motor weaker and hotter. Easy fix. But if you are to change it is diferent. I give it a try... Cheers

it is said by the wise gopniks of the neighborhood that it runs on vodka
Haha, that explains why it runs better after a shot of vodka! Cheers to the wise gopniks!
4% is a lot for modern synthetic 2 stroke oil. You could even run it at 1% (even for a dirtbike) but 2% is the standard
Проверь состояние сальников коленвала. За столько лет они скорее всего потеряли эластичность и идет подсос воздуха в кшм, от этого и повышенная дымность и падение мощности и нестабильная работа.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely check the crankshaft seals. It makes sense that they might have lost elasticity over the years, causing air leaks. I appreciate the advice!
Witam. Jaki jest rozmiar (numer) uszczelniaczy na wale?
У меня такой же, на моëм канале есть видео. Соотношение масла и бензина правильное, двигатель прогреется и перестанет дымить. Чтобы было нормальное напряжение, нужно добавить обороты двигателя, чтобы на приборе была частота 50 герц.
Thanks for the tip! I will try adjusting the engine RPM to reach 50 Hz.
It must have been a delight staying at that guy's cottage.
With me, they'll have it better!
Sounds like it's running with the choke half way on
Hmm, but I didn't find any lever for the choke
@@FixitBuilditLoveitв интернете есть документация и инструкция по эксплуатации этого генератора и двигателя..
Кайфовый советский генератор ))) Береги его это нельзя ломать только починить и кайфовать )))
I agree, I will take good care of it!
That's a beautiful old generator! I'm envious. The poor running is not because of your fuel-oil mix; something else is going on. Most two-stroke engines are very tolerant of your fuel mix, but make sure that gasoline is fresh! Possible an ignition problem, but likely a carburetor issue.
The gasoline is fresh; I bought it on the day of the start. Maybe the ignition timing is set incorrectly. Or perhaps the missing rubber on the needle in the carburetor, which shuts off the fuel supply, has a significant impact on the performance... I need to look into it...
Looks like a nice unit what rpm does it operate at
The exact technical specifications, such as the engine's RPM, are not provided in the available sources. I believe it will be around 3,000 to 3,600 RPM..

Needle not sealing because of it should have an round rubber ring under it head.this ring disapear in fuel over the years.just buy new needle with saddle,whitch will fit to size.i know from wich cars you can get it on ex-ussr territory,but don't know what you can buy on your place.
Also because of needle its overfuel engine
Exactly, when I was cleaning the needle, there were remnants of rubber on it. Could you please tell me from which car I should try to get the needle? I could try to buy it on eBay.com.
I have the same, if you need advice on this, ask. Also, there is a video on my channel.
Thank you! I’d love to check out your video too! By the way, what oil-to-gasoline ratio do you use for yours?
Your centrifugal regulator flap is not working; perhaps you have not moved the handle to the working position on the crankcase!
I believe the regulator is working; you can see it in 9:08
What is the rated power? 1000VA?
It should be 1kW
@ЛёхаСмирновсмерчь You still use it everyday? Interesting
For 1kW output power, this 2 stroke generator set weighs over 100lbs. Which is interesting...
the 80s russian geiger counters used a glow in the dark panel that was safe as well, where as the check source on them was uh, spicy
haha, "spicy" is a great way to put it! Definitely a product of its time! Thanks for sharing that insight
Nice freebie that!
Thank you! I couldn’t resist picking it up when I saw it. 🙂
First use 2 stroke oil only, and the good mix is 50:1
I use oil for two-stroke engines, as you can see in 7:20. Isn't 1:50 more suitable for modern engines?
No! 50:1 is suitable only for the most modern of two-stroke engines. Even then, many of us with mechanical experience have switched back to 40:1 or even 32:1. There have been to too many failures seen with the very lean mixtures when worked hard. This old engine will be happiest with 25:1.
@@KevinMaxwell-o3t I don't understand, you are saying that with a mixture lower in oil it is better?. 50:1 there is more oil in gasoline than in 40:1. In my humble opinion you are better off with more oil than less.
@@spiro7723 No, you misunderstand, spiro. A 50:1 mix is one part oil to 50 parts gasoline (2% oil). A 40:1 mix is one part oil to 40 parts gas (2.5%). I run my older engines on a 32:1 mix (3%). You and I agree: more oil is safer for these old engines. Cheers!
@@KevinMaxwell-o3tсовершенно верно.
I think better ratio would be 1/40
Thank you I will try it!
See my comment above. These old engines need the lubrication supplied by a 25:1 mix. Don't believe the claims made by two-stroke oil makers.
Soviet union!!!! Made in USSR, not Russian.
You're absolutely right! Thank you for pointing that out-it's Soviet, made in the USSR. My mistake!
It may need some time to run your 1:25 mix to burn off the old oil left from the past life. If the carb bowl looked that bad, the crank case may be oily too? Try a steady load like incandescent light bulbs. Cheep load bank with light bulbs and switches!
Thanks for the advice! That makes sense-it probably needs some time to clear out the old oil residue. I haven’t checked the crankcase yet, but it could definitely be oily given the state of the carburetor. I’ll try the steady load idea with incandescent light bulbs; that’s a great suggestion for a cheap load bank. Appreciate the tip! 😊
cool
thanks!
OMG! i was playing Metro Exodus... a post apocaliptic story in Russia... u could ecounder generators like this in the game.
haha, I’ll try playing that game too!

The mixture is probably 1/25 (4%) as used by most engine of that age. Use normal (mineral) 2stroke oil (SAE30) or eventually 10w30 not synthetic. You're missing the air-filter.
Thank you very much for the recommendation, I will try using SAE30. I didn’t have the air filter installed because I was shutting the engine off by choking the air. However, I’ve now found the kill switch near the ignition.
@@FixitBuilditLoveit The magneto is a Bosch-type; they usually have a button to short the coil to ground.
@douro20 You are absolutely right, there is a button on the magneto, thanks!
