I have the same generator. It’s a pretty neat little rig. It does have a low oil shut off. There is actually a sticker on the pull cord side of it. Also that goofy plug on the top, was actually where a fuel window used to be. Mine would leak gas from around the edge of the window when full. I had a guy seal it up for me. I’m guessing that your generator had the same issue from the previous owner . Thanks for sharing!
I have one of these I bought used and need to replace the motor. The motor on it does not appear to have been the original. What motor is on this tumbler. How many RPM's, HP, etc. Single phase? Thank you
I'm currently restoring one. That fan was branded by half a dozen names such as Kenmore, Wizard and a few others. the rotor and bearing design changes slightly. the better design was where the bearing and oiler felt was bolted to the stator and not the housing. I have the Eskimo base for sale and primed for paint if interested.
I have a 500, "slick top". I want to mount a scope soon. What kind of scope is that, and can you detail it please? Thank you in advance, I appreciate it.
I have one with the same build layout as yours only with a metal base and the secondary cog on the far side of the roller looks a little different. I think Nelson is the manufacturer at least going by the color blue mine is. My double unit has a single drum and the other is split into two sections equally. Runs great and it is almost as quiet as this one.
Parker and Dunhill were associated at the time. You can find pretty much the same lighter with the Parker name on it. The Parker model has a square dancer base, the Dunhill a round base. There are at least 31 variations of the silent flame lighter with the Dunhill brand on it. This is the most common model, tho there are 3 different models of the Sally Rand "fan dancer" One with a ball and another with veils. Other models include a statue of liberty, and Superman. They are much rarer. One of the rarest is the WBAL Radio figure. There are other advertising models that are just as rare. Finding one in this beautiful condition is unusual.
I found one of these machines in my wife's grandfathers garage it needs to be re wired and cleaned up but I would love to use it to refinish my parents floors. Any help on getting parts for it would be great.
We couldn't find parts from the original manufacturer either, but when it was taken apart we found we could get most of the parts from Granger. The small rear wheels are from them, the rear axle we made, the belts were from Granger (special order though), and the bearings we got from a local bearing supply store. These older machines are built very well and we had not a single problem with this machine. The drums can wear out and not hold the sandpaper good enough but if you need to replace that you can use a newer drum of the same size.
hi i am looking for a floor sander to buy a good used one will be nice what about the parts for this machine how did you find it the machine looks good and its doing a great job.i like old school but i would like to know some one have the parts to fix it
Hi Brian, Your motorhome dropped off craigslist and I am not sure replying to your craigslist emails are getting to you. I don't want to post my email and phone # here due to unsure who all can read this post. When you have time can you contact me plz thx Jeremiah
I don't know where you can find one like this, we sold this one. We do have one more somewhere that is a double 20 lbs unit. If I can locate it I will give you a shout.
The manual for this machine can be found here: www.scribd.com/doc/149965766/Free-Westinghouse-ALB-Manual-and-New-Home-NLB-Manual These are nice sewing machines. Very smooth, great stitch.
Yes, ours didn't work but we have a small machine shop and made some new parts better than the original designs and it has been a good performer since.
That is nice to see. You don't really see people restore a Bersted built fan 'properly', being they were the VW bug of fans. I have finished mine now, I'll have to get a video. I like seeing one restored properly! Mine is hammered blue, (And I added a chrome cap on the back!)
It is true that the cheaper items are rarely restored, but when your bored you can actually get some things accomplished. I like the blue ones, but I found a pink one (not for sale) and I hear it is the rarest of rare. Ugly, but sure has that 50's look. Thanks for the comments!
Thanks! The plating was sent off to a plating facility and redone. I requested nickel only because I prefer it to chrome, it is more white than silver. Plating was not cheap, it cost something like $80 to have it done but it sure made the project come out the way I was hoping. I did the krinkle finish myself. I have seen the blue ones, they are nice. This one was black when it was new so I just kept the scheme the same. Plus I like deco chrome and black stuff anyway. Be sure post a video !!
You sure made that look fine! I have one, an 1100R, but it's not exactly appealing. I do plan on restoring it though. How did you have the nickle plating done? Mine was a baby blue color from the looks of it.
