fix my 107,

[John ED Renstrom]

i picked up ths 107 for a decent price. but it's a little too rough to put in a car. what to do? I have this old Coronado that I got at a auction for 100 bucks I bet Kandy will help me get it up and running. so one repaired plug and a new drive wheel made from a heater hose later. she helped me set it up. we are not talking about cataract surgery yet but soon we will be. but figured out were to oil and let it run some to wake up a little. it's just like a old car find out why they stopped using it, fix that and anything else that got cobbled or broken. then it works like new. the seamstress leaves a little to be desired but hey. I haven't done anything like this in about 20 years either. so we are both rusty. I can't imagine a service that let their equipment get this bad. its all from rubbing in storage on a moving rig, the belt to. we did get to learn how to fill the bobbin on this old gal. and now we have a extra belt and a chair to sit on in the shop. anyone know where there is a set of gray belts with the sliding teeth buckle on them. it will be just right for the 53.

I recognize that chair-cot, not sure where from...

I've worked with far worse, honestly. The last time I used a Ferno 107 I carried someone UP five flights of stairs. The joys of private service.

Looks GREAT Ed! I've been looking for the grey belts too.

be honest I think I have a set here but were? you roll those things up and they will tuck about any were. time to toss everything out of the shed again and find stuff when you put it back in. but I still have trouble with a piece of equipment taken off a rig in that bad of shape. guess noone got into that compartment in a long while. but now it have sewing machine tuned up and running with nothing more to sew. so put it away again.

Reminds me of the Accu-built tour in 1995 where the guys were cutting the wooden floors for the hearses and the ladies sewing the interiors.

Ed, you have a production facility and staff likely putting out as many cars as accu-built is today.

You have a great thing going Ed... keep it up !

Kandy is a fantastic asset to your restoration shop.

What's Mookie doing to help out ? if anything !

Darren
