Re: Clover 14/20 lathe
I have a Clover 17/25 but had wanted a manual. I found a company in Italy whom I reached out to and inquired about availability. I was quoted around $200 . I don’t like the machine enough to warrant the expense so I didn’t go any further. I would contact Summit lathes and ask about the manual and ge...

Re: steam channel
Why did full size steam die and diesels take over? Maintenance / costs were probably the #1 factor. In simplified terms the hobby isn't that much different......cost (and time ) to build a steamer and maintenance required to keep it going. It can take thousands of hours to build a steamer, never min...

Re: Fixing the electrics in my old German mill Ruhla 250/710
Check your ground points .......sounds like something is searching for a ground and is trying to pull a ground circuit anyway it can , including through the relay coils, lights, etc, inadvertently energizing them.

Re: Taper roller bearing removal ?
The big problem is China is producing bearings, and many other items, and the packaging to go with them and passing them off as OEM. If the price on a bearing looks to good to be true, it probably is a knockoff.....go to an authorized distributor. JCFX, where in NY are you? I could make a few sugges...
