This is a recent reactivation that needed the replacement of a stripped Speed Control Quadrant to end the tripping of the circuit breaker when switched on and it attempted to start at a high speed setting. Medium Green Hammerite was used because Verde Green Rustoleum was not available. Rustoleum Hammered Silver was used for the Headstock.

These are excellent, machines and are easy to align and use.
