Awesome! I got one of these a year or so ago, also a 1977, from my local high school that they gave me because it stopped working. It has exactly the same problem of the motor not engaging the wheelhead. I'm so glad that I found this and can finally fix it, as my multiple phone calls to Shimpo weren't very effective.
Hey! The part number you shared shows the bushings are at a 60 angle, the ones you installed look to have no angle on them, did you experience any issues with them?
The small belt in my ring one keeps coming off while the machine is running. Not sure what to do in this case? Is it the cone? Or is it the belt? Is it the cone positioning? What should be fixed? What would you suggest? Thanks
Subbed :) Just bought one of these for my wife an old 1981 model, great video exactly what I was looking for, this one runs but not perfect, just wanted to ask where you sourced your parts from? Thanks

What a wonderfully well made video!!
Thank You
Thanks! I have a 1973 Shimpo. Works great but y'know...
the rubber is quite old. I have been successful in partially rejuvenating mine by soaking it in silicon lubrication for days.
Thanks for making this video. I have a Shimpo Aspire and it feels like it has a tiny 'jump', but I can't figure out what the heck is wrong with it.
I just found this video - and I am repairing my wheel - EXACT same model - Is there a wiring diagram available?

Do you know of any places to buy replacement parts? I have a 1976 and someone took the drive wheel assembly out of it.
Try kreuger pottery
