I also vote to look at this type of restoration. I was in on conversions of 3-phase band saws and a 3-phase steam autoclave to 208 single phase, so it would be nice to see this type of conversion reviewed by Mr. Carlson's Lab. So many industrial and commercial products come as 3-phase devices, so this would be helpful for re-use of such products.
For inductive loads like band saws or lathes look into VFD's, static inverters, or rotary converters for operating such equipment in a single phase shop.
@@eDoc2020 It may sound weird from the US but in Europe you can buy domestic appliance wired for single and 3 phases. It apply on cooking appliance and water heater tank, as it's common (or easy ) to have 3 phase power at home so you can spread the load across all phases. All public distribution is made from 3 phases transformer 230V phase to neutral/ground and 400V between phases. A 9KW will draw "only" 7,5 Amps on each phase (7.5*3*400) while it would need 41 Amps under 220V (there is more to say about what happen in the neutral conductor but I keep it simple)
I'm sure you've already thought of this, but just in case: consider adding air filtering to keep the fans from blowing dust all over your fresh paint. I upcycled my computer desk from a very old (est.100-yo at least) bakery table. At 6 by 3 feet, the top is made of 4 unequally wide planks, between which was a compound of all the ingredients it'd had mixed on it over its decades, turned to a paste through the regular scrubbings it'd had. I can say politely that it had a unique smell. After a lot of work, it became a beautiful, functional desk that smells delightfully of oiled and painted wood. I hope all the work your oven needs repays you as well 😄
Hello Paul! I can see your point about curing the paint faster using this oven! Hope it works out for you. Yes I would be interested in seeing a little more about your work on it. thanks a bunch!!
The subect is perfect for this channel, you're educational, you teach us smart repair tricks and deep insights into the electronics objects you repair. And I bet a lot of us is into all kinds of electronics, I'm at that age were I don't focus on a single area like "radio" for example, but everything, technology connections is great for those "oddities" in electronics, so with your indepth knowledge I would welcome this kind of repair videos. It's real life useful, we're into repurposing things, especially solid things like that Baking oven, I'd love to own one and make bulk loads of bread in hard times. Excellent stuff!
Restoring everyday things like this oven is great content. Most people don't come across test equipment or vacuum tubes in their every day repair needs or they are in need of help with more practical things.
I know this would take away from some of the other restorations, but it's nice to see the tools you use, including the modified tools, as well as the radios and other things. I think I'd still enjoy seeing more of the oven. Although this is not something everyone can get their hands on, the ideas can be transferred to smaller projects.
This is the same kind of oven and proofer that Subway uses I used to work at Subway except the proofer we had it had a water bin on the bottom and we had to fill it water.
Paul, the aerospace overhaul facility that I retired from has a Heat Treat Shop, among many others. Someone briefed the "Board" one day about Production issues and called a wide flat oven as the "Pizza Oven." Of course, the entire Board insisted on going over there to see the "Pizza Oven." Wouldn't you know it, it was at the beginning of lunch time and someone was actually heating a pizza that they had brought in for their lunch. I wish that I'd been there to see the looks on their faces & heard their comments. ;) I'll cast a vote to see a clip of the wrinkle paint as it changes from smooth to wrinkled!
I bought a brand new GE ¼HP blower motor on eBay for $10! I pair it with a 30:1 worm gearbox (also eBay) to power the apple grinder on my cider press. Edit: I enjoy watching all kinds of restoration, not just electronics. I cured ceramic paint yesterday in my BBQ.
I am not surprised on the price of parts, that is a commercial unit and the cost of repair can be written off on the company's business expenses. The main thing commercial equipment users look at is the durability as it will affect the bottom line when the equipment is down for repair.
If you want to dry freshly painted parts you should insert a dust filter to avoid to sprinkle dirt inside. After a drunken driver touched my car (while I was somewhere else), I hat to repaint a part of it. To dry the paint I drove my car over night into a chamber made for that purpose. Next day I found dust sprinkled over the repainted area, because something went wrong with their dust filters. I did not need to pay for the night and it was my car when I was a student at university, nothing which has to be somewhat representative, but ...
When you said "electronics and bread" I immediately thought of Panko, where an arc is actually used to bake the bread. That would be a cool video subject, don't you think? You would probably need to get one of those ovens from Japan.
I have a laboratory hot air oven myself. I use it to bake tapes and such. My friend used a 4 foot rack, insulated it and made a paint oven out of it from scratch. Know all about the wrinkle finish. Some females flash off the same way! It's amazing!!! 😅 Of course, like the "porch light", Paul takes it to another level!! 😁
same here, its panful to watch Mr Carllson, having to apologise? I get point will not many valves in it? but still interesting to watch?
Месяц назад+3
Slightly off the normal topic of restorations but still quite interesting, It's a very well built oven and after the restoration will likely last a lifetime.
Microwaves and now this, you are going into my field of work, and I absolutely love it. I've been working on commercial food equipment for 17 years now. I love this channel, I have learned quite a bit watching you over the years. Keep up the awesome work. You are the best teacher, that I never had. You make learning this stuff fun and interesting! If you need help with any parts, let me know I may be able to get them cheaper through work and can ship them directly to you! I'll try leaving my email as a reply to this message, I'm not sure if there is something that blocks links or emails.
Aftermarket parts are the way to go on these appliances unless of course you're having to warranty your work and put them back in commercial service. Been there done that professionally. 😊 Also....when dealing with a fan that will not easily pull off do the following: Oil the shaft at the fan. Lock the shaft (if its not already locked) and spin the fan back and forth a little at a time by hand. Rinse and repeat. Eventually that fan will let go and then easily lift away from the shaft. Don't use any force trying to lift the fan off until its ready, otherwise you chance never getting it off and ruining any chance of saving the fan or bearings in the motor.
I enjoy watching you repair anything! It is all very interesting to me. I'm waiting for your watch repair channel! Thinking about joining your electronics class. I was always taking things apart as a child, some successfully, some not so much, but I learned how to repair lots of things.
I think take some photos and put a video together about what you did. Also, if you need to recover the fan blower, just drill out the drive shaft. Doesn't need to be perfect if you just make it into a thin tube and reheat it the missing center will usually weaken it enough that the shaft will shrink.
Hey Paul. Well it sure seems to be an interesting machine to see you fix and adapt to your present needs. I vote yes, definitely, to see you put this thing back in working order. Thanks!
Hi, I watch all your videos. You certainly get involved with so many projects. When are you going to work on the Philco 38-8 radio? I also have this big radio and I am waiting for you to get your radio restored. Thus, I can follow your repair and troubleshooting techniques to get my radio up and running perfectly!
Yes, we want to see the restauration of this oven,even a shorter version of it. You will have a lot of work to clean this, but I think it will work. 👍👍👍👍
It doesn't need to be a super, crazy detailed video. But gear like this makes a nice break from the radios. It'll also draw in people who are less interested in the detailed radio videos and are curious about things like this.. Fiddled with many domestic ovens myself but very few commercial ones and never a proofer, for example.
I would have loved seeing more about the conversion of this! While I originally subscribed for the radios, I’ve also loved the generators and the welders and everything else that’s come along.
Mr.Carlson just doesn't like to wait for the paint to dry. The top must smell like burnt toast! Love that you're are going to make a bread oven into painted cabinet dryer. Powder coated cabinets needs a much warmer place to dry the paint coat. This will fill the bill!
I've gotten the impression that restaurant part pricing is similar to obscure electronic part pricing. They give you the FU price unless you have an account and are a regular buyer.
I run into a similar situation with tool restorations and my rustoleum enamel paint. I might be able to get a customer's broken proofing oven eventually and do the same.
Mr Carlson, I was sure you were going to say that you are expanding the channel to demonstrate some of your artisan bread recipes. By 1:00 in the scales had fallen from my eyes like uncured paint chips and I realized where you were going with this.
Wrinkle coat paints are cool but they trap dirt and look old quickly, especially black. Hammer tone paints are nicer in my opinion. I love the greys, blues and greens.
The next time when someone visiting my lab looks at me funny when they see that I have modified a regular toaster oven into a PCB oven, I will say: "You thinks THIS is wicked? Watch this guy his oven"😂 Great solution to a very familiar problem, hope it will improve your workflow significantly 👍🏽
friend of mine runs a small specialist engine reconditioning business. He use a large catering oven to heat up aluminium engine blocks so that cylinder liners can be dropped. The liners themselves are sometimes put into a freezer overnight or alternatively liquid nitrogen is used.
Hi Paul. The parts are so expensive for this because they are for the food and hygene industry. You can probably get motors / fans a lot cheaper if you go for standard items, but they may not last as long as the OEM parts would. Nice to see it's coming along though. I dreaded working on ovens, they would always be full of grease. Thanks for sharing.
I think there is a lot of value to teaching some of the power/ industrial electrical that unit will have, maybe even converting the top to a reflow/powder coating oven with programable ramps and dwells
Do keep in mind that many paint formulations contain flammable solvents and dedicated paint drying ovens typically are manufactured to "explosion proof" standards, meaning that ignition sources (switches, contactors, electro-mechanical timers, heating elements, motor brushes, etc.) are either replaced with solid state equivalents or carefully sealed off from the source of flammable vapors. Probably not a concern when baking bread, so I would be most interested to see how you address this concern in your restoration/conversion.
Those are the work horses of subway and firehouse subs. Look up parts town; they should have the blower motor for a least under $1,000 fairly easily to replace better than the newer models they have. If I'm not mistaken, that's going to be a Nu-Vu SUB-123. I don't think it's a P model, but I could be wrong. They also have the wiring diagram; if that is missing, they tend to burn off.
You mentioned the power adaptation... years ago I worked with a guy who had all kinds of equipment in his workshop. He was the only residential customer in the state to have 480v 3-phase power.
I had a heat bin for paint. It was two bins out of a steel stamping plant. They were hinged together and had two high wattage bulbs inside. We would preheat the part and paint it. Put it back and let her dry. You could paint even when it was 45 and raining.😂
Oh that old thing will come in very handy. Those little fans ... well, if anyone knows it's Mr. Carlson... they're really easy and cheap to replace. Probably with better ones even. Quieter and longer lasting. What a quality of life improvement to be able to cook off a new case paint job.
Thanks and some questions. 1. Originally 208-240 three phase? 2. Manufacturing date? 3. Have you considered using lower compartment to also dry out transformers, etc.? Thanks Richard
A lot of oven scrubbing ahead. Yech! I wonder if there was any kind of routine cleaning that was SUPPOSED to be done with that unit considering how much the fans were gunked up and nearly non-functional.
Castrol SuperClean for that baked on grease. Give it a try, I'm guessing you'll like the results. Undiluted, warmed if you can. You can get it in 5 gal buckets. Not Purple Power or other imitations in purple bottles. Works really well on sap and tar too. I love the bread oven. PID controller and powder coating next?
LOL, a friend painted his bilge.... well it was plenty warm enough in his boat... but the hull sitting in ice water didn't help. paint never cured. he had to drydock and strip it all out.
For those who might want to know why he calls the bottom section a “proving “ oven, it means rising. When you put bread dough in a warm place to rise, it is said to be “proving”.
@@FromSagansStardust rising of bread dough is called PROVING, not proofing. I have friends who are bakers, and they told me that terminology thank you.
@@christophermarshall5765In cooking, proofing (also called proving) is a step in the preparation of yeast bread and other baked goods in which the dough is allowed to rest and rise a final time before baking. During this rest period, yeast ferments the dough and produces gases, thereby leavening the dough.
@@christophermarshall5765 Are your friends in the UK? It is 'proofing' in the US. (I worked in a NYC area bakery in the 70s, all through high school & college.)
We used to have a place called “Industrial Second Hand”. Walk in and get mill, 6 cylinder cell site generator or bread oven on any given day. Miss that place

_"Electronics And Bread! - Say What?"_
It really can be both. Bake bread in the top oven, while drying electronics cabinets in the bottom.
Mmmm that'll really infuse the bread with that good ole fashioned magic smoke scent!
Better do the opposite way as odours will surely goes up

I've gotten the impression that restaurant part pricing is similar to obscure electronic part pricing. They give you the FU price unless you have an account and are a regular buyer.
Parts for my commercial floor cleaner I bought for my shop had FU pricing on parts.
It would also be useful for SMD work I imagine.
That's a really good idea for drying paint, and I believe you would be able to use the oven part to set powder coating too.

purple degreaser/sodium hydroxide works well. i use a house oven to bake paint on parts. 250-300 f works great
Hi Paul. The parts are so expensive for this because they are for the food and hygene industry.

I dreaded working on ovens, they would always be full of grease. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Mr. C! We love your projects and inventions here.
I would like to see the conversion process for sure. So much to learn!
Do keep in mind that many paint formulations contain flammable solvents and dedicated paint drying ovens typically are manufactured to "explosion proof" standards, meaning that ignition sources (switches, contactors, electro-mechanical timers, heating elements, motor brushes, etc.) are either replaced with solid state equivalents or carefully sealed off from the source of flammable vapors. Probably not a concern when baking bread, so I would be most interested to see how you address this concern in your restoration/conversion.
Well, the top oven will come in handy for baking powder coat.

If I'm not mistaken, that's going to be a Nu-Vu SUB-123. I don't think it's a P model, but I could be wrong. They also have the wiring diagram; if that is missing, they tend to burn off.
That top gets hot enough to do powder coating if you want. But you have to make sure the airflow is not too turbulent.

@@FromSagansStardust rising of bread dough is called PROVING, not proofing. I have friends who are bakers, and they told me that terminology thank you.
@@christophermarshall5765In cooking, proofing (also called proving) is a step in the preparation of yeast bread and other baked goods in which the dough is allowed to rest and rise a final time before baking. During this rest period, yeast ferments the dough and produces gases, thereby leavening the dough.
@@christophermarshall5765 Are your friends in the UK? It is 'proofing' in the US. (I worked in a NYC area bakery in the 70s, all through high school & college.)
@@FromSagansStardust I am in Australia. My friend who works as a baker has been doing this job for close to sixty years.
Would love to see more on this oven. While I love the tube content, I really like when you throw other projects in the mix.
We used to have a place called “Industrial Second Hand”. Walk in and get mill, 6 cylinder cell site generator or bread oven on any given day. Miss that place
