I got this from Barrie (top man) about a week ago, I'm resisting painting anything as its too good and I hate painting. Idea is clean and lube as I go.
Starting at the top..
Bit grubby but nothing amiss .
Cones and steel etc cleaned up, oiler cleaned up, gasket made, bearings lubed.
Everything about this is battleship, the 38mm steel centre is for the spring release held down by a hefty 50mm C - Just to release the top cover!
Gave the top cover a good degrease inside and out.
Although it weighs a few kg, surprising its made of fibreglass.
Going to work my way down, but the motor will have to come off, I can't live with that backplate adapter to the 1 phase conversion, 3 x 2mm ali plates which works just fine but just bugs me so will make a plate which aligns to the original better. Do need to clean and paint all that and replace the kopex anyway.
Looking forward to getting the lamp working, more battleship stuff, let alone the pedestal and table!
