I saw the word ‘Elin’ on the sticker on the motor and googled that. I had been Googling the type of motor (asynchron) and getting no luck. But when garage.girl asked for the motor tag, ‘Elin’ jumped out at me and I though I haven’t looked that up yet. I have managed to find a free download of...

I am in Ireland? Why you interested in it?

Just looking for a few parts now. The main part I need is the bandsaw table bit.p, and the fret saw/jigsaw holder. Thinking parts may be hard to come by though.

So I think it’s a Mason Bay Emco-star! Now to try and find a manual and a few missing parts.

Here is a photo of the motor Glad you lot are stumped as well and it not just me!

Yes it is similar to them as the planer is connected on two rods like that. But it’s the letter ‘M’ stamped on a number and f place that has me stumped. I was thinking it stands for Milwaukee but not sure as can’t find a photo of a Milwaukee brand just stamped with the M. It’s definitely some...

Hi guys, Recently I purchased this item. It is a combination of a table saw, band saw, sander and you can attach a planer to the gear cog on the side. It is stamped with the letter ‘M’ in a number of places. It’s driven by a electric a asynchron motor. In the pictures the bandsaw blade is...

“I can never date those engines.” Every engine has a serial number, and you just find out what number yours is see where it fits between the two different numbers for each year start and end. Mine comes in as a 1936 engine. I have cleaned off the electrical system and now have spark from the...

Thanks for the link. I will contact them but was hoping someone had a pdf version of it they could email me. I will keep in looking on the internet and see if I can find a free version, as most of them I have seen so far you have to pay for.

Hi everyone, Does anyone on here have the rebuild manual for a Lister D engine? And do you know of any problems I need to look out for on them? I am not sure of the year yet as I am looking at it later today, but do know the magneto is still connected to it. Any help really appreciated 🤓

I thought that was the right way, and I was testing my circuit and getting no reading back. My light on the charger said it was on, but nothing was happening. So I left it overnight and this morning things looked exactly as they were last night. So today I decided to take the battery charger...

Hi again, I am having a go at electrolysis and have everything set up, and want to plug it in. But..... My battery charger is a old one, it has two switches on the front for 6v and 12v, and another for slow and fast charge. So..... How do I know what voltage my battery charger is giving out? It...

Hi guys, I am looking for a can of Rust-Oleum hammered verde green paint to repaint a vice I am restoring. From what I see it only comes in a 12oz spray can in either 1 or 6 cans. The problem is, I live in Ireland, and can’t find this paint anywhere here. So is there anyone over in the USA...

Is “swivelocity” a word? My shed is a wooded one with a wooden floor, any suggestions on how to mount a vice so the floor survives? I was thinking about cutting a hole in the floor and sinking a metal I beam ( girder) into the ground and mounting the vice on that. Any better ideas? Thanks...

Opps , yes the 4th picture was a different vice, it’s a record no 4. Picked them both up at the same place, but clicked the wrong photo when uploading. Paid €40 or $45 for both, so not to worried that one is an import, the record no 4 makes it for it. I only gave bench room for one though, so...
