Restoring 10ER S/N 83974
I have finally started to restore the first of the four 10ER's I have here. This one is from 1952 according to Skip's list and has thin wall way tubes and hollow table posts. I have another 1952 S/N 69356 that has thick wall way tubesand solid table posts.
Anyhow here are some before pictures. I started on some of the smaller parts and don't have before pictures of them but the last picture is of the finished product.

I am not sure about the table posts on that one.

OK, the green and silver really looks nice but I am a die hard traditionalist. Maybe one of the other three will get a different treatment but don't hold your breath.rjent wrote:Looking good brother. The green and silver will go over the gray primer very well .....

Re: Restoring 10ER S/N 83974
Got some time this afternoon in the shop after spending most of the morning at the clinic on Hill AFB. My wife had an eye and a routine medical appointment.
I polished the main table tubes. They had light rust on them which I removed in the media blaster with 70/80 grit glass media.
The first picture is the tube after blasting. It is mounted on the SS with a 3/4" SS sanding drum mandrel and a tapered wood plug with a live center. I used 400 and then 600 grit wet/dry paper to polish the tubes.
The second picture shows the result.

Re: Restoring 10ER S/N 83974
Looks Awesome, I am just starting to restore one I inherited from my Dad about 30 years ago. Still runs, but I want to shine it up and put some fresh bearings in it. I am looking for anyone in the Denver area that has a shopsmith that I could hook the main tubes in to spin them up for a good emery cloth cleaning/polishing. Are you using paste wax to preserve the finish after the polishing? or something else?
Re: Restoring 10ER S/N 83974
I use paste wax and always have.That is what SS has always recommended so why change?tech76 wrote:Looks Awesome, I am just starting to restore one I inherited from my Dad about 30 years ago.

The first picture shows more parts media blasted and ready for paint and/or polishing. The second picture is the finished product. The paint is one coat of primer and then two coats of the finish color.

Re: Restoring 10ER S/N 83974
Here we have more parts glass blasted and primed. Then one way tube cleaned and polished. I used 220 through 600 grit paper on the tube.
