Hey Gang! Let us know what you think of this Old Piece of Testing Equipment! We apologize for the audio during the testing, Turns out electrical interference shielding for wireless microphones wasn't a big concern in the 1930's.
Love the old school tools and equipment. Keep up the great work.
Always a learning experience from Matt and Jim. The right "original" repair equipment for the right "original" parts.
Sweet machine. I love what you've done with the store front. I understand that the building renovation has taken you and your dad years of loving labor.
Imagine that: Something almost 100 yrs old and It's serviceable! 😆
The best of automotive History and automotive repair.
"Thanks Jim. We'll re-convene on the machine"... Golf clap. Always enjoy a trip to the Garage! Expect another generator customer soon, haha...Cheers, gentlemen.
I'm close to 76 years old and although the content of your video is still before my time, I've been exposed to it over the years. One thing about it I really miss, is the atmosphere of your garage. Good video and I subbed you.
Nice job gents!
Such a contrast between making something of quality then, to "engineered life" today. I am an absolute tool junkie, and appreciate how you two actually put your equipment to work.
Fascinating to see that old equipment used for its original purpose. Thank you for showing it.
Back when things were built to last.
Amazing how those old tools and machines still function today. Just tells you how well made things used to be. Bet there won't be a computer or code reader around that long.
Thanks for showing us about the generator. That test equipment is spot on. What a great find. I like it.
Incredibly wholesome.
Great stuff. Love seeing how it was done back in the day.
The idea of using original tools has not been explored much, so you guys are right on time with this one. Love you collection!
Absolutely love your Channel. It's hard not to you guys are always working on something really cool and get to learn a bunch of stuff about it in the process is a great time thank you for all the hard work you
T.H.Peacock would feel right at home if he walked into Strong’s Garage In 2022. That’s pretty wild. Great job on the store you guys!
It’s always fascinating to see current projects on your show
Matt, Jim, love the show. That piece of equipment is quite amazing for its time. The Model T should be running great now. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Cheers from Ohio
Pure vintage Strong’s unmissable Garage wonderful stuff!
Model T's are negative ground. It was the Model A was positive ground. Love that machine.
..hi guys...I like being on the inner sanctum of anything....thanks for the tour.......
I love to watch and learn from you guys.😊 You all definitely know your stuff!
What a beautiful piece of equipment. You two must have highly developed olfactory glands to sniff out these rare pieces of speciality equipment.
You two are amazing. I sure enjoy you taking us along on your Strong Garage adventures. Thank you.
WOW so glad the test machine survived all this time. Thank you ALL stay safe
Have a great weekend, love the videos
Something i needed to know.... just for my own knowledge... So awesome to watch this stuff...
growing up in the Dakota's we had a few of the implement garages where you could get the full size cokes in a bottle for 10 cents. Strongs garage looks a lot like each of them. thanks for the memories. I think I can smell the old overflowing ashtrays from here in Memphis
First thing tomorrow morning I'll go back to 1929 and pick up one of those testers.
Buy some Amazon and Tesla shares on your way back 🙂
If you don't mind I would like to swing by 1932 and pick up a coupe, on the way back.
If i could get there i would stay
🚬🐕
@@johndechiara262 The start of the great depression followed by the second world war may not be the ideal time period to drop into permanently.
Cool old machines, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Ding ding YEAH!
Keep em coming Matt n Jim 👍
That was cool. Can't wait to see that thing up and running.
Next time I'm up North, I'll stop by for battery service... those three brush generators can be cantankerous.
Truly enjoying these episodes highlighting the way you guys show how these old, original tools actually work! Pretty Awesome! Thanks for posting this wonderful content!
Nice procedural. I remember Scott playing with his T generator. 😎
Informative and interesting, thank you guys for the entertainment. Looking forward to future videos, came to your channel by way of Cold War Motors.
Yeah, this is good stuff guys
That's a pretty neat piece of equipment.Thanks for demonstrating it.Never saw a generator that was adjustable like that either.Kewl.
Great videos. I enjoy watching them,
You guys need to help Scott with his T's generator.
What a beautiful old machine! Very impressive... The fatter the hat, the smarter the cat 💪
Your initial brush plate setting was correct, but you should have tightened the four screws before placing on the machine. Then only move the third brush br itself by loosening the internal nut on the brush plate.
hey guys i found you channel from curiosity inc. ! there is channel called iron trap garage, in Pennsylvania, beside building hot rods they travel the states gathering old model t and a plus other parts. what they are not going to use they store in a warehouse for sale ! if you are looking for head lights for the barn find they probably have them maybe even seats and running boards.
Give them a look see.
Great video Thanks for in in-depth look on how to do that and what happens educationalto say the least
Thanks
Cool machine
Hi Matt and Jim! Does your AVO meter say where it was made and does it have a date? The company used to have premises in Dover, Kent - just up the coast from me. I did some reading and it turns out that the invention of the multimeter was credited to a Scottish chap called MacAdie who got it manufactured by AVO and they introduced it in 1923. Yours looks pretty early.
Inner sanctum of the 3rd brush.
Lol..
Cool 😎
Do you use an in line power resistor on your old tester? It might be a good idea as it's likely meant to be run on 110-115 volts and modern voltages can often be as high as 125 which would throw off a different reading on the meters that aren't expecting a voltage that high. I install power resistors on vintage radio equipment I use for that very reason although tube radio gear may be a little more sensitive to the extra strain of higher voltage than your machine.
I have a really great project idea for you. Have you heard of the Jappic? It was a Brooklands cyclecar racer, with less than 4hp, in a small motorcycle engine. There is an antique Pathé film you can watch about it, here on YT. What if someone were to find you a 4 cylinder Henderson engine, and you put it into a featherweight cyclecar racer.... A person could even use a certain kind of airplane part, for it's body.... I'd say it would be a pretty fair race, against your faster Model T's. .....ACTUALLY, that antique V-twin motorcycle engine you have, would also be competitive with Model T's as well. ...Any of the Henderson engines would be FAST though.......
Matt, sorry to bust your bubble but either your head is shrinking or that hat is growing, its like ten sizes too big for your head. With your Dad contribution with his skills and vast knowledge of many years experience as a machinist must make him feel pretty dern good being able to help you out. That's good to hear..I recall you guys showing us this machine in an earlier episode nice to see it at work doing its job setting up a generator. That's so cool.
Love the channel. What did you adjust to achieve the 8 Amps ?
👍
What is Jim drinking out of the white coffee cup?
Bros🇺🇸🏴☠️🏁🇨🇦⚒There go my hero’s watch him as he growing as he goes 🎼🙏🏻🇺🇸🏴☠️🏁😊⚒🤫
Hi Jim! It's been a while. Are you still into the VW's too?
I enjoy your videos, but a model T is negative ground Model A was positive ground
I am wondering why you set it up with positive ground? All my model t's are 6v negative ground and it is my understanding that model t's were all negative ground, ford changed to positive ground on the model A's
👍🏻🇦🇺
Do you move the 3rd brush while it's spinning?
Another great video guys.. but that hat.......
Voltage gage is revolting.
I have been wondering for quite a while...are you guys identical twins? My eyesight is poor so I can't really tell.
You guys have a cool channel, but you need to work on your scene transitions. They are not smooth.
This is not a model T starter!!!
