some assembly required

Post by mtblah »

after pouring the A702 babbitt bearings i immediately started assembly !
the case even got a little red paint.
i constructed a tripod to hold the motor upright for assmbly as the 3 legged tower will eventually hold the motor in the air.
now twisitng the wire for the upper section of the tower.
Thank you windybob, Paul V for the encouragement to under take this kind of project.

Why did you pour bearings into a 702?

You did the snout bearing?? Really? That one is tricky. There is one right way and too many wrong ways for that one.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.
