RE: Renovate & Celebrate: It's a Journey, Not a Sprint!
I knew it was an outdoor electrical switch. Yes, sometimes the old stuff really does last. I once owned a Farmall H tractor 1936. Four cylinder, gas, alcohol, kerosene, ethyl alcohol, and a couple of more fuels. Ran on them all. Could pull a three bottom plow. Hand crank to start. Generator rebuildable. Now if I could only fix typewriter from 1920!
Back to electricity... Sorry to diverge - remember the old knife switches or the old motors. Alot were DC, can be bought at military surplus. From the 50's and 60's still working fine!
New generators and motors are crap. Some companies do make good ones with the same quality but are very expensive!
Good luck
Do you have a picture of it? Sounds like a beast 😍
My dad and uncle have a knack for these things. He (dad) read my article, and I edited the part about the electrocution. He made me think. He used to, and still does, repair things, with a fascination for old motors and such. I still remember him using ac and dc frequently when working on some...
No I don't have a picture of it only memories 🤗
Sounds fantastic!
