Just wanted to say thank you for making all these videos! I have watched them all a few times and am now going through again and following along for the restoration of my AOU AK1 from 1930. This has been immensely helpful-thanks for your mentorship!
I’m still amazed to see how sophisticated some electrical products (lile this GE fan) already was in the 1910’s / 1920’s ! I mean look at this rotor, he looks like it was produced last year
I have had some stuff in the machine shop i forgot about putting in evaporust for a couple of months.. about a year... and when i came back it darn near totally desolved it wasn't compromised from a visual inspection before i put it in, but it was a cast iron manifold. untill just about nothing was left. just a weak skellington of what was once.
Was it Evaporust or Rust Oleum’s version? I’ll have to try that! It goes without saying though, that this stuff isn’t meant for parts to be soaking in for a year…
@@bbishoppcm their is a remote possible it was the WD-40 version of evaporust diluted with 50% sterile, distilled water, but I'm 95% sure it was evaporust. I actually had the same thing happen with some zinc plated throttle body plates, and I know that was with evaporust(purchase at HFT), a while ago. But I wouldn't be too afraid to use the stuff, like you do obviously, stuffs magical. Just used it last night on some brown and sharpe tool steel, and it came clean but a bit brown and dull, if you get me xD
Interesting. The RustOleum product dissolved an antique fuel sediment bowl and valve assembly on my 1937 Briggs engine… I was PISSED. Evaporust would not have done that.
Btw if you still want that screw, let me know and I can help you out, I can cut you a new one in the lathe, to match yours, as an appreciation for the videos.
Hi! Love your videos. I have the exact same one that you have and i need to restore it. Could you tell me what kind of ultrasonic cleaner you have. I don’t want to buy something too expensive because I may never use it again. Would any ultrasonic machine work? Like a cheap one? I have few more questions about how to restore mine. Would you be willing to communicate through email?
I now have the larger unit from Harbor Freight - it costs under $200. I had the smaller jewelry-sized model when I restored this fan; dont waste your money on that unit

Very Very nice job as usual! Can't wait to see the next video! Love the electrical side of these restorations! :)

Wow, I thank you for the offer, but I did order some. I will need a base cover screw though...
@@bbishoppcm let me know what you need, not sure why my previous comment got flagged, just look up rayote industries, email us :P

Hi! Thanks for responding! So you’re saying to stay clear of the cheap one right?
