Greg, On jobs like that, you need about 14 fingers on each hand and at least 3 hands! ... I looked at your other video, and there are 4 light blue electrolytic caps between the 2 transformers. From what I could see, they aren't bulging so that's a good sign! Some one has been in there already and may have recapped the power supply. Also, whom ever worked on things before had never heard of heat-shrinkable tubing. I like the stuff with the thermo-set glue inside. It's great for insulating switch solder lugs, solder lugs on relays, etc. ... Thanks for the video and good luck with the rest of the refurbishment! Have a good one! Dave
Nice video. A bit of dielectric grease or even Marvel Mystery Oil on that new rubber seal will make it slide over the metal a bit easier if you end up replacing another similar one. Appreciate you taking the time to post these videos.
Watching you put in all that wiring was tooth-grinding. I've done some of it myself. I find two tools indispensable. One is a set of jeweler's tweezers, I think I got mine from Grizzly but not sure. Unbeatable for holding small parts. The other is some surgeon's hemostats. They clamp. Do not buy at medical supply store. Go to the sporting section at Wal-Mart and look around the fishing gear section, in the fly-tying gear. They are used to tie flies, and cost about $3 here in Anchorage. Tools apart, very nice job. Even without tweezers.
@@NaksNamanVlog I would need to remove and disassemble the drive for that and that’s something I can’t do. There are places like HW machine that sells an updated version of the board or the offshore servo type feeds are relatively inexpensive compared to a rebuild of the original.

thanks Brad. glad to see someone else working in a tight space.
Very impressed with re-installing the micro switch plate. As I watched I was already putting body English to help assist :)
Awesome work, Dude! Thanks

where does the green wire from the switch go to?
You're not done until you put some 90W gear oil in it. There should be a sight glass on it. Probably wait until it's installed, but don't forget! :)
Well done.
That looks like hot glue on the switch terminal.
If you "wet" the soldering iron tip with a bit of solder, it will transfer heat much faster.
+Thomas Coughran Thankyou, I was yelling at the screen, tin the tip, tin the tip.
Do you have email address. Can i have a photo of the pcb top and bottom lay out. i need to remake the power crontrol. for 6F power feed

Certainly several thousand miles ahead of that ghastly hydraulic nightmare of the K&T.
nice work .
gonna be nice for you ,, thanks for the light ,,,,
Might have helped to remove the switch from the box, gave better access
This is like my kinda dream for me to do restoration brining it into great working condition I'm kinda gelous.
Next time take the switch out and work on the bench. Lots easier.
40 years as an electronics tech, I've made that mistake a time or two.
nice fix thanks
