I think the hexagonal tube seen @ 6:10 is the gas ballast but I do not see how it is opened or closed. Does anyone know hos this works? Looking forward to Part 2!
I never figured out how that works. I guess at the very least I will have to clean it and replace it, so I better get the manual out! Thanks btw, and I hope part 2 will not be too far off! The parts are here.
Welp, I just started on my welch 1400. Mine's much worse shape. Even so, I'm going to attempt to re-use the shaft. Trying a basic seal kit and see if I can get any action of 'er. If I'm getting close to a working device not sure how to resurface some of those parts. I was looking for your follow on video but either you didn't record it or she's still lying in state.
I got the rebuild kit. It took longer than I expected and my dryer then exploded and took up the basement workshop. It will be reassembled this winter... but I'm still trying to find the white thread sealant. Have you got any idea what it is? and also thanks for the comment! A while back I noticed a ton of them for sale on eBay in various conditions.. might be a good source of spare parts. I got mine from vacuumpumpsupply.com
@@stickyfox Could it be LOCTITE 592? I don't know either. Which rebuild kit did you get? I don't want to invest a lot into this, and my vanes seem good enough.
