Best quote I could get on the motor was $800. I did find a couple of replacements for a lot less but they looked pretty sketchy and combined with the other issues, I sold for scrap. For the life of me I couldn't get the stub arbor off. So, it went with the scrap. The table extension had most of the ...

I'm in San Diego. We don't see big iron on CL very often. There's a Northfield #4 that's been on for a couple of months ($3,500) and not much else over the past year. I pulled the copper from the stator and cleaned it up a bit. I'll get a couple of more quotes for rewinding before I make the final d...

Tannewitz

Pete, Thanks for the advice. I'll pull the motor apart, provided I can get past the infamous retaining nut. Will the wiring diagram be on the inside of the fan cover? I haven't been able to find any documentation on the motor.
Thanks
Terry

height adjustment

This was rusted solid. I've finished the rust removal and need to order a replacement for the thrust bearing. It's completely functional now and looks pretty good. it's nice to have one victory behind me. The weld job is ugly but it works. http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y485/tdhvandal/height%20...

pulling the guts

rack and pinion fence

I was glad to get this. Even if I can't get the saw functioning, this should be worth the price of admission. I didn't get the tapered pins. I will have to find replacements.

Tannewitz Type U Restoration

I'm in over my head but drawing inspiration from Pete and Stephen. This saw appeared on CL over 4 months ago. it disappeared and about 2 months ago, on a whim, I texted the number I had saved. He still had the saw and was asking $250. It has "issues". The height adjuster was rusted, busted...
