More photos of this Model 28 wall mount Last thing it typed Maybe a news article? The inside of the typing area Keyboard appears sunken in the electrical service unit Power and 1/4in audio jack Empty envelope for spare gear made in 1966, gear isn't in it

Very unlikely the Pi outputs that level, I may need some intermediate device. I see several refences to people connecting these to various computers, but have not yet found how specifically. There is a 1/4in plug which I assume was the original interface. It may contain the intermediate...

I have been looking for a teletype for awhile, and found one that someone just wanted rid of. It looks complete and in decent shape. It still has the last thing it typed, which looks like a news wire. Unfortunately, it does not have the date, which would have been a neat bit of info. I don't...

Bigger hammer :3 Picked up a 3lb hammer and this got the dowel to move. Chewed up the pin punch, but I didn't want my hands anywhere near this Got the knuckle split and this made getting a blind hole bearing puller in it easier. NAPA apparently loans tools for a deposit, which they...

This is true, the retainer can be twisted and removed. I was afraid of deforming it this way, but it seems fairly resilient and I noticed no deformities after this. The seal does appear to be mushed up/deformed and did need replacement, but it wasn't disintegrated like I have seen other felt...

Grease was coming out the sides of the knuckle on the inside side, where it looks like a sphere is at the end of the axle. There is a felt seal there and if its ever been serviced, its been decades. Watsons Wagons is messing with knuckles so Id thought Id give mine a go. I found this helpful...

I recently redid my connector - Rebuilding the 3 lever light switch connector – Stickelman.net In your description, are you saying that the dashboard light connection is disconnected and thus not working? If you want to have dash lights without disassembling the connector - which you can...

I really appreciate your documentation of repairs, just fiddled with steering box while watching that video this weekend too. I have watched several of these videos to give me an understanding of what to expect when doing maintenance. I am not a mechanic, but I am able to do some of these...

M37 Master Cylinder (uglytruckling.com) I have this installed in my truck. I ordered a NAPA 1980 Chevy C30 master cylinder, I am pretty sure I got NMC M2135 but I don't have the receipt anymore.

After getting confirmation that tach is safe to disconnect, I removed the instrument cluster. It isn't straightforward really, but its easier than spelunking. The 4 flat tip anchors that hold the cluster on are easy enough, and you get just barely enough clearance to reach the speedometer and...

This project was successful in that it works and I think it will be durable. I am not completely happy with the outcome, it isn't as tidy as I would like. I can fix this problem, but ill save it for later since I do not have any vulnerable wires and it functions. Ill waste some connectors...

Got the last of the connections made and tested, to my surprise everything works. I used garden hose as 'conduit' for the wires going to the tail end. The old wires were rubbed through in spots, the hose should protect the new ones and I will lash it down more securely. I wouldn't recommend...

Attached is what I ended up with, can anyone review the fuse selections and recommend changes? These are my best guesses and I am having trouble finding references.

I am not a mechanic, but this is what I would start with Compression test at some point, but maybe you don't have enough speed going from 2nd to 3rd? These trucks are a bit finicky, took me a bit to get used to shifting them (hopefully) appropriately.

Thought I would show AF8 tool use, the 4 way crimper, on packard shells. This covers the 'male' end, ill post females later. This seems correct, based on looking at disassembled originals, but if there are errors, please do correct me. The rubber shell goes on the wire first, followed by...

Looks like its coming along well, its good to have help. The details really slow everything down, but I am just slogging along knocking out one segment at a time on my project (electrical).

Its Cortez burning his ships time. Got the open questions open regarding what connects to what (which did match the wiring diagram unsurprisingly) but a couple parts like the foot dimmer didn't have markings so I did want to trace things like that. With the last bits mapped out, I was able...

I could try stuffing two cables into a larger ring terminal and crimping two in one maybe

This project is very tedious. Everything is a tremendous pain in the backside. It is worth doing as I am finding corroded, worn, and vulnerable items pretty much everywhere so its good that this system is getting attention. Not electrical, but this has bugged me for awhile. The knock out...

Two large hurdles cleared, cannon plug/connector and battery box The cannon plug is a tremendous pain. The prestolite wire takes alot of heat and time to tin properly and that seemed to be the key in getting good connections with the solder cups. There is little space to work and seeing...
