[TheForge] test again

[Jerry Frost]

Works Pete? Which, theforge list or the LG?

I picked up a 50# LG (ser# 2436 delivered to Los 
Angeles Heavy Hardware Jan 17, 1912) about four weeks 
ago, literally days after an insurance check from my 
Mother's estate came in. Everything on it is in pretty 
good shape, new babbit two years ago and only a little 
play in the link arms. I got it all set up, new base 
made, wired and when I flipped the switch nothing. . . 
I checked all the wiring about three times, ran a meter 
on everything and it all seemed good. It turned out my 
welder generator wasn't making amperage on the 240v 
plug. Both legs worked just fine on the 120v but not on 
the 240v. I took the welder into the shop to see what's 
wrong and get it repaired, I'm holding out hope it's 
just a bad plug, loose something, etc. but . . .

So, seeing as I couldn't start using the thing I 
decided to go ahead and paint it, make a gaurd over the 
spring and a brake.

It's that or yard work and we have a BIG yard. <grin>
