I did confirm with a multimeter that when the power button is depressed I have an extended beep until the red button is pushed breaking contact. So I believe your assumptions are correct and that I can tie the white wires together with a wire nut connect one black wire to each side of the...

103.22540 is the number I have found a little bit of info on Vintage Machinery

Not that I am aware of, not sure why they went with this set up (obviously not original)

yep, 120volts so definitely an option. I have a simple toggle switch to control the power on an old Walker Turner Drill press I rewired which is simple enough. When I bought the sander it had this box and controls and I had pictures of how it was wired but as said that was many years ago and I...

Photo above is in the off position with red button depressed. Photo below shows the power button engaged (the silver disc raises up and engages with the contacts of the brown box. When the red button is depressed the silver disc drops back from the contacts

After about 8 years of sitting, I am trying to finish up the restoration of an old Craftsman belt sander. Trouble is I don't recall how the switch was wired and I am not the best with wiring. Any help of where the wires coming from the motor to the switch and back out to to 110 outlet go would...

If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it, I have a 113-22541 Craftsman sander from the late 60's and I am in the middle of disassembly and restoration but for the life of me I can't figure out how I can't figure out how to remove the bearings and driveshaft assembly from the belt table...

I used Tarkett from Menards in my basement for less than a $1.00/sqft. It has been down for 2.5 years and is subjected to daily abuse from my three 65lb + dogs (they spend all day in the basement when we are at work) and when I clean it up it looks like new, no scratching or damage so far. No...

Not to take away from your garage, but how much fabrication was needed to squeeze the 04 interior into your Bird. I am just in awe of how factory it looks, did you have to chop down or lengthen the dash or door panels.

I have been looking to purchase the Bosch corded multi tool but ran across a sale at Menards today for the Materforce line Utila-tool for $19.99 after $30.00 store rebate. I haven't had the chance to use it yet but it feels just as solid as the Rockwell unit. Here are the specs 2.2 Amps...

My vise just finished, sorry no before pics of it's 8 different color rusty self. It's a Wilton 645 other than that I don't know much about it maybe from the 70s?

Jeez, you guys must use these a whole lot more than I do because the Stanley 6 piece set has never not worked for what I needed, but I only use them 1-2 times per year.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002X29G/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I have a floor standing unit that I bought last year for $75, I too had to rewire as someone along the lines wired it up with a lamp cord. The two holes on the left side above the spring housing are where the original switch was located. I bought a toggle switch, metal outlet box, and black...

Goo be Gone, WD-40. I would try the WD-40 first, then the Goo Be Gone
