Started Stripping the Goldie

Post by PG-Zac »

Post part one:
A few days ago I stripped the base and set the pieces aside for surface prep and painting. Then I found out that I have to order the paint colours I want and wait several days for delivery.

So today I started stripping down the headstock to find out what internals I have. To get the belt cover off, I had to take the end casting off the way tubes. Not very cooperative due to rust.

Speed pulleys seem to be in decent condition

Post part two:

The motor appears to be original - please confirm if you can
Image

It seems to be able to handle both 110V and 230V without mods
Image

Wiring is all shot
Image

Good news though - The quill rack & pinion seem to be in very good condition, just greasy & dirty
Image

That's it for today.
