I’m exploring Lemmy and saw no posts here, so I decided to make one with my current project :D

    Sick. That’s how i got mine. $50 at Goodwill $30 for a gasket and new grease. Still works great years later.

      I told a friend to keep an eye out for these at thrift shops but they claimed none would accept broken appliances, hah! I’d love to find a bunch and fix up. It’s fun.

    Love this kind of project. Do you have more photos? Or still a WIP?

      Parts are on the way now, I can take some of the assembly. I mostly just have photos of it apart so I can remember which order they go back together haha

        Here’s a photo of all the gears after I cleaned them (don’t leave them wet like I did in this photo - they will eventually rust. I later sprayed them all with AMSOIL MP which is like WD-40).

        You can see the worm follower gear is worn out BAD. The symptoms of this machine were that it would studder/skip when encountering load.

    Hell yeah man! We need more documentation type posts which people can look up later.
