Beautiful machines. They don’t make them like they used to. Well worth saving these old gems.

[@howzatrestorations1538]

Looking good so far, cool colour. A nice sharp flat head screwdriver served you well there!

[@metalartRestoration123]

[@RandomRestore]

Nice mate! The old wires looked completely unmanageable😬 I'm excited to see the finished result in part 2 😊👌

[@metalartRestoration123]

I'm diffenly rewiring it I still hav to test the windings to see if I hav to rewind the whole motor.

[@RandomRestore]

It sounds like a good idea... 🤔 I hope rewiring is enough mate

I’m here before this blows up.

[@metalartRestoration123]

Thanks mate.

[@The4MusketeersYT]

metal art you’re welcome

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Great job so far.
Looks quite similar to Black and Decker grinders from the same period. Did you do any electrical tests on those toasty looking windings before investing time in the rest of the work?

[@metalartRestoration123]

No hav not tested it yet if it's shot I'll hav to rewind it.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

@@metalartRestoration123 Hope its ok, but good luck if you do. I've not found much on rewinding motors on the internet in English language. Plenty of the asian language ones, but they are very hard to follow.

[@metalartRestoration123]

I rough idea on how to do it I'm having trouble finding the stuff to do it.

[@cantinetormanshow3757]

Nice stuff mate, did you bought it or you find it in an abbandoned factory?

[@metalartRestoration123]

Thanks Malcolm na i bought it mate.

[@Alabamaweldinginspector]

[@metalartRestoration123]
