Speed Control Refurbishment
Finishing up the speed control. The shaft was bent, so that had to be replaced. Each little control/sub-assembly will get done first. Then I'll clean and paint the hard casing and finally assemble the head sans the motor. What I have found amusing is that I have found several internal problems with the mill and they tried to fix them in-house BY REPLACING THE MOTOR, which likely was not damaged and, of course, didn't fix the problem. When I first assembled it, I failed to insert a small spring under the grub screw on the rim of the handwheel. Needless to say, the handle just spun on the shaft without it. I did source a new dial and painted the body black.
