I have a 10 year old wall heater that I have used for backup the last 10 years in case I don't have power. Probably has not been on but 8 hours total. I noticed when I turned it on last week to test it the outside part of ceramic was not burning and from the looks of it never has. Is...

My vintage metal building has 6 old florescent light fixtures. Late 1950's or early 60's. All but two still work. The two bad ones needs ballasts. I am planning on keeping these fixtures and installing the 8 foot single pole led's and doing away with the ballasts. They are all wired in...

I have an old Atlas drill press model 1810 that I would like to restore. It has been in my shop for over 20 years. The moisture from the none insulated building has took its toll and I cannot get it to move up and down. I worked several hours trying to clean the light rust off and still...

I had asked about this in another post but will make sure in this one. I remember last year my ground cable was broke and the water pipe was just hanging. I didn't have my power on at the time so in a hurry I put a ground rod in. I just about know it is not over 5 feet. I sure don't...

I found what I needed on eBay. Thanks for looking anyway. Tom

I had damage to two of my conduit pipes in my shop floor. They were broke at floor . I was finally able to find the junction deep in my office block wall. I removed the hot wire feeding the broke wire at slap by pulling it from conduit in both places. They are out of the picture which is now...

I have a DeVilbiss 432 compressor powered by a 5hp 3 phase motor. My tank has pin holes in it so I will not use it again. I want to keep my motor and compressor mounted on the bad tank and pipe it to a new tank which was given to me today. I talked to person who owned it. It is...

I have a old jack I used to pull heavy transmission years ago. We bought it in the early 70's, I do remember that. We paid $1000 back then which was a lot of money but it was used a lot. The seal is leaking at the lever you use to raise the jack. I cannot find a model on this thing...

I have posted a few things about me trying to get a very old shop back going. I have a problem now that might be costly. My dad built this place in 1961. I bought it in 1978 and never thought to ask him where the septic tank was located. I was young back then and just didn't know much...

Anyone know where I can purchase a bridge rectifier for my Lincoln AC Weldanpower 150 ? Code number 7979 Serial # a-874213 I find no numbers on the old one. I did find some on amazon but don't have a clue if they will work. I shorted the brushes on mine and blew the thing. I think I...

Since Monday I have not been about to access the weldingweb.com site. Anyone know what has happened or it is just me that cannot get there ? Not sure if this is where to ask ? I had a person helping me on my old Lincoln and can no longer get to that site. Tom

I have a few picture before I cleaned up my 56 year old shop. I hope to upload how clean how got it in the next few days. This old Butler Building (70x50 ) has held up great since my Dad moved in 56 years ago this week. I was in the 9th grade when he started working there. That was in...

While cleaning my 56 year old shop I found this neat thing. It is a fuel analyzer made in the USA by Algas. Our shop worked on lots of propane trucks and I assume we had this to check the fuel/air mixture. To my knowledge this is the fist time I have seen this as it was hidden away...

I own a shop that my dad built in 1961. Everything was run under the slap including air lines and of course water lines which are stopped up. I have not turned the compressor on in about 15 years but it turns free and has oil in it. It was running the last time I had the power on...

My son had two Ceiling Fans installed on his front porch a few years ago. It was done by a recommended electrician. He tells me it has two separate switches for those fans. He said if they are both are running and he turns off the left fan first it will trip the breaker. Turning the...

I made a mistake in my post so I deleted it. Sorry about that. Tom
