[GreenKeys] I get a surprise package

[Nick]

I got one of those running not long ago. I was surprised how sweet, smooth and quiet this machine is.

Just one little tip/hint :

After changing to a different speed, turn the motor by hand a few revolutions to make sure that the gears are perfectly lined up. If they are not nicely lined up, you may end up with an ugly surprise - I am talking about a stripped gear.
This can happen to anybody with multiple speed geared machine.

Have fun and enjoy !!!

Subject: [GreenKeys] I get a surprise package


So I was working on my 14 reperf the other day and an old friend came by. He is not a tty guy but he is a ham so he has a wee bit of ken about the subject.    When I tell him I am trying to get this machine working he says
“What about that machine I have?”
To make it short he had a 28 reperf he had junk picked several years back.   I am totally unfamiliar with them but I went at it like I knew all about it.   The big surprise I got was when I saw there was a gearbox - and there is a lever on it!   No need for gears for this machine.  It has three speeds, and I am sure it is 60,75 and 100.
   This machine has been home to mice over the years, but when I got all the cotton stuffing out of it, it looks very good.  I will get all the info on it and try to get it going soon
