    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Theres something you don't see everyday. A piece of equipment that looks great and functions as it should. Great job Jim. You may want to put a meter on it to check the HZ. When I first got my 003 running it acted the same way. I find tune it with a $60 multi-meter. Great job. Jeff

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Man, you do nice work. I just got done replacing the motor and painting an MEP-003, but it looks like a kid did it compared to the job your doing. A little lesson I learned is make sure you have a good clean mating surface for all you grounding straps. Or it allows the Gremlins in. Again...
