The bobbin has a neat way of lubrication the ways, it has a little resovoir that holds oil with wicks that take it slidy parts. This one was full of water.
The sanding bobbin is well and truly rusted on, I tried levering it off and nothing, I heated it up and nothing, I left it swimming in plus gas overnight and it still wont budge
This machine must of had a proper wack to break all of these castings.
It took me a while to work out how to get the motor and mechanism out.
This machine must of been maintained pretty well before its accident. The bobbing mechanism is well greased and the ways are in good shape.
