Thank you. As a boy I remember spending time in my grandfathers woodshop. It was dimly lit in there and and unheated in the winter. He was a true craftsman though. Bomber mechanic in WWII. I am grateful he got me interested in the machines to begin with.

Outstanding collection. I love the band saw. I have a Century motor on my Champion Blower Camel Back drill press that I was able to bring back to life thanks to your help and feedback. I love how quiet these motors are after they get to spinning up to RPM. You are right they are very heavy but torque monsters. I like to say when Cast Iron was King. Thanks for bringing us along.

I got to spend a lot of time in a B-17 in my youth. The 909 crashed at our local airshow. It was repaired on-site for years and while it was there you could go into it for a donation, so I visited it a lot. Unfortunately that B-17 was destroyed in a crash in the last year or two. :(

Sadly it was. My wife and I went inside of it two weeks before while it was here for the Wings of Freedom tour. The same grandfather I reference in the video was a bomber mechanic in WWII but the funny thing is he never even owned a car his whole life just mechanically inclined!

Wow that is a bit of a coincidence! I suspect the total number of people to have been in that B-17 is not that many. I am very sad that it was destroyed, but unfortunately, I think the organization that owned it never really maintained it properly. As for your awesome grandfather, I wonder why he never owned a car. He must have lived somewhere he did not need a car. Did you get your skills from him, or your dad?@@BencoVintageMachineWorks

We all lived in the city of Chicago so he got around easily on bus and train. Moved to Florida 25 years ago and never looked back though. Both my father and grandfather were craftsmen and mechanically inclined so it could be in the DNA. I attended a technical high school too and we printed our own yearbooks. I agree that it appears shortcuts were taken in the maintenance of that plane. Damn shame really, for all involved.

@@BencoVintageMachineWorks Years ago my father was an airport inspector and crash investigator for the state of Pennsylvania so he knows all about that stuff. He read the report after the accident and they were flying the plane without two functional magnetos on each engine. That and it seemed like the pilot or copilot may have made an error and shut down one of the working engines after losing two and they flew the plane as if it had enough power but stalled it and just came down in an unforgiving location. ☹️☹️☹️

It was the easiest approach. Not only saved me the work of running longer wiring but now the machines can be moved around if needed. I have a 12ga extension cord which can handle the amperage draw on any of the machines.

Like you said @@BencoVintageMachineWorks , you are free to move the machines around. People get paralyzed with decisions and this way they can get started. Eventually machines fine a home. I have a table saw where you need a nail to poke it, then it will start. I suppose it had some pin at some point. I like that machine because nobody can start it. Your idea does the same. ....and now that we are thinking about it I realize a good place to have control, is a switch up high on the wall that powers the circuit.

Great intro to your 'new' shop, so many fine vintage pieces there so new or old it feels the part. Wonderful too to see a guy a generation younger than myself with such a great head-start. I recall more than a few such motors and pieces of equipment in use in my Dad's Connecticut home as I grew up in the '60's, maybe didn't appreciate them then, do now! Beautiful and keep 'em coming as you can.

You always do very good restorations and I enjoy getting to see these motors being restored. I collect and restore antique toy electric motors and some old fans and the like. I really like to see you using these great old machines. They just don't make them like that any more.

Hello I have question .Can some one explain to my the s and r terminal starter selenoid? I noticed it has some thing to do with coils polariti ratios,suposedly it equalises negative or posive currents voltage ratio ,but how is it actuali calculated number of turns,aluminum or copper coils and what to expect as an result? Honestli Im not shure if right hande or left hande rule is used for such device? I noticed the alternator voltage regulator reacts to those windings so I ques it senses negative voltage from baterry and determines when to charge .I hade lot problems in the past with such selenoid type aperantli even some magnet type starter motors have them .My car uses bouth delco and bosch starter motors so I do see some differences in their construction. So I was wondering if those coils cučd by used as some form of regulator coils for an generator set up? Sadly my lande does not have those current cutt out regulators so I try to build some small 12v high amp generator by useing the starter motor dobbel wire armature the plan was useing external rotary magnets so the armature wuld by stationari just for experimental porpuse I ques . I was fascinated about dc compound generators and metadyne rotary transformers so trying to reconstruct at least some effects so hoppe sone one knows more about such mashines how they operate and what they requare .
