Fine sand or glass beads - you cannot restore without the use of one of these. Heavier work done by sandblasting. This is where I found the P501 after a fire and the owner told me to take it away or it was going to recyclers - Ken

dopo che carteggi i pezzi per rimuovere la ruggine che cosa stai applicando? un prodotto come il Rimox?

Una volta sabbiato prima Epoxy Primer e poi verniciatura antiruggine - qui è Tremclad - Ken

First you sandblast the part so it's clean and free of rust

Take things apart, media blast after plugging the holes then coat with Tremclad Clear to protect the finish

Dinamotore cleaned, one bearing replaced, tested OK

Ottimo lavoro Ken, per i ricambi del dinamotore hai avuto problemi??

[kjjohnson]

No problems for the required part, a bearing. The shop had one in stock. I'd taken new brushes for the dinamotore but the old ones were hardly worn so they weren't replaced. Everything cleaned up and tested. Couldn't believe my good luck when you see what the dinamotore looked like when I pulled the motor. Ken

Nessun problema per la parte necessaria, un cuscinetto. Il negozio aveva uno in magazzino. Avevo preso nuovi pennelli per il dinamotore ma quelli vecchi erano appena indossato in modo che non sono stati sostituiti. Tutto pulito e testato. Non potevo credere ai miei buona fortuna quando si vede ciò che il dinamotore sembrava quando ho tirato il motore. Ken
