Default White vs III

Never being one to back down from a vsm challenge,[ATTACH=CONFIG]589426[/ATTACH] I got this White today. Looked good from five feet away. Oh oh broken handwheel. I wonder if the warranty will cover it. Somehow I didn't read it before I bought it Of course, the set screw is stuck so far and who knows what else. I wonder if a White Rotary hand wheel will fit. I may be about to find out. This will take a while. Day 1 shots.

Excellent hearing -- you heard right. That is sure pretty. Too bad about hand wheel.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

I started to pull the handwheel off a rotary White. Ooops no pulley for a belt. I may need to convert it to electricity.

yes, it looks the same.. and your handwheel looks intact. Are you going to rebuild it?

No, I was just going to pull the parts off it and scrap it, it's actually worse than it looks in the pic. You're more than welcome to the handwheel if you pay the shipping.

Sounds great Rocsew. Can we wait a bit to see if I need other bits, too. I am a bit nervous. I am using an aluminum punch to try to get the outer ring off. Wow!
