Yes i know several of this workspaces too ![]() I did some routing today on a clock part. I was strange to do this driven by hand wheels. At my work i have an CNC router. And then i cleaned 2 vintage Tefifons. One is working the other has a problem with the drive and the pick-up element seems to be dead. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The bearings and the brakes all went back together ok, I even remembered to fit the seal before finally fitting the drum ![]() The spiral pipes went in ok too so I was feeling pretty good and the weather was sunny, then... ![]() I noticed this. What you can see here is the cover plate over a felt seal and it's given up the ghost, what I saw was terminal corrosion of the spring tube end cap. For reasons unknown I decided to remove the cap. What a waste of time that was. ![]() Absolutely butchered it ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course the springs, rods and the tube are all perfect, as good as new ![]() I don't know why I didn't realise at the beginning that it was just a rusty cover plate and not important, sometimes my ignorance amazes me. ![]() |

Great work, strong spirit! I have restored two 2CV's. So why is it, EVERY time I read threads like this with lots of photos by people restoring 2CV's, I really wanna do another one? (Luckily I do have another project, my -58. So when the time is right....) |
