This wasn’t painful, it was educational! As always! Love to see how you tackle unexpected problems, you are always helping the rest of us in the trenches Bob! Thank you!
I like the similarly-textured orange gloves made by AutoWurks, which I get at one of the local auto parts stores. They are less overly long on my stubby fingers and are reasonably durable for being thin enough for sensitivity. I knew it seemed as if there weren't enough little loose parts falling out as you disassembled that motor!
Thank you Dearie, very informative... My tool list grows every time I watch one of your tutorials LOL. In Maine, it's near impossible to find vintage sewing repair guys unless I want to pay 200 bucks for a basic "Tune-Up THEN tell me how much more it will cost for any issues they find LOL and for knitting machine repair, I can only find one very old man in New Hampshire and he has one leg in the plot. So I m teaching myself with your help for sewing machines and the answer lady's knits channel for knitting machines. So far I own 5 vintage sewing machines 2 of which are treadles and 3 vintage knitting machines. You are a blessing. Peace Love and Blessings to you and Ms. Liz.
I wish I lived closer to you. I would love to become an apprentice. You and my dad would get along great, he loves model railroading too, and has lots of tools too.
I bought some Kroil and it is amazing stuff. I used it on my locks and garden gates and they are moving amazing. Can’t wait to try it on a vintage Singer I picked up.
Very nice! That shiny, immaculate commutator is too pretty to run. 😊 If anyone lacks a HF, I found similar orange gloves with the same properties at Amazon (Orange Lightning) last year, and they work great. Definitely looking at alligator ears next! And, I’m off to shovel… “stuff”. 👏
Great video and looks like a lot of work. As to the screw starters, they make live easier. It was IBM in 1968...Now that i'm 80 years old i have to work only on light weight machines, no more cast iron one.....
Would you ever work on my mother in laws 66…. I would ship it to you… I just really want it looking prestine, I started buying parts trying to figure it out on my own and then my Mom passed… I redid the wood case completely…. I know you do a lot for people, never hurts to ask😊

Couldn't agree more that screw starters are worth every penny the cost.
Another great tutorial. Thanks for showing the tools as well. Very helpful. Keep 'em coming.

I used to DIY simple rotary tool with used sewing machine motor and flex shaft attachment.
I think you like the gloves! Great video as usual.

I just took a Declo apart, cleaned it, and put new pigtail wires on it.

Great video as usual, always learn something new!
Do you have info on the amp meter you are using?
Thank You
I have several, the one in the video is the Ames Instruments model CM600A. It's about $50 at Harbor Freight.
