    I found that the Carling Technologies Curvette Rocker Switch (RA901-VB-B-9-V) switches fit the cutouts for the switch panel near perfect, and when installed look like they are made for it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLY27P2F?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Bearings, top mounting in casting has (2) 6205Z, smaller on the top of the spindle is 6203Z and bottom of spindle is 6205Z

    Oh, and does anyone know of a source for replacement switches. I've already called Harbor Freight, and looked at every model with similar parts and asked if they parts are available from HF, none are. The only thing that hopefully works is the rack bar, (hopefully).

    Out of curiosity, anyone know the numbers for replacing the bearings in the spindle? I haven't taken it apart yet, just figured I ask if someone knew the numbers so I could have replacements ready to go right back in when I rebuild it.

    Ridgid Vise experts needed. 45F Possible columbian made?

    Old thread, but what would be a good price for the Rigid variant? Is $200 asking too much?

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    I'll have a closer look at the unit when I get home to see what I can do about taking the case off of the A/C and see how much room that would afford me. I don't think a portable would make much more since seeing is how I'm limited on floor space as it is, and having the unit, and the big...

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    Yup, that's why I asked the question here, I didin't think about the intake and cold side exhaust needing to be split if it where mounted in a recessed manner.

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    I know I could go out buy the smallest A/C available at HD and Lowes, for less than $120 with military discount, but they still aren't smaller than the one I already have. I'm stuck with coming up with a way to use the smallest window A/C available (the one I already have) in a window that is...

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    I'm looking to mount the A/C outside so dogdog's (#3) is what i'm looking at doing. Labor is free, because I would either be tinkering with this, or sitting on the couch watching TV... BTW, I can't find a "Window A/C" that fits into a ~13" wide, ~12" tall window. Narrowest units I've seen are...

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    I'm not going to trade with anyone for a mini-split, who in their right mind would trade one of those for a small window A/C? The unit I do have will work, I just have to get creative. I'd hoped others here had some creative ideas to work with, not the typical "just buy a new one, just move...

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    Do you know of a unit that someone would be willing to part with that is less than 13" wide and is NOT a portable and would not require me to pay for it? Can't give up floor space after all. I guess I could just keep an eye on CL and other sites and wait a few years for one to pop up... Oh...

    Window A/C too wide for window?

    To start, I'm a renter and can't modify the building. I have a small detached garage with very small windows. I'd like to use a small window A/C that I already have from the house I previously rented. My problem is the A/C I have is already the smallest size(dimensionally) I could find. The...

    soldering recommendations

    I agree with MFolks on everything. I'm a certified 2M repair technician (patterned after the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) high-reliability soldering studies and have few differences other than the administrative chain of command) in the USMC for 15 yrs now. This course...
