Growing up I had an old lathe, although I am not sure of the year. It's great to see these old machines being repaired, you certainly can't buy them like this any more, and you use it exquisitely.
Yes, Hampton Bay (Home Depot). They were also the same age. Interesting, my daughters fan was having motor problems, I removed it (and ended up replacing) but the lights were fine. Her fan was in the house when I bought it 20 years ago!
I wish I had taken pictures. Last week, my 15 year old ceiling fan (which works great) had a light burn out. It had 3 others so no big deal. One day in the morning, my wife turned on the fan and POOF.... ZAP.... Smoke.... then all the lights went out and it wouldn't turn on at all.
The fan was installed with an RF remote which is why it wouldn't turn on, but the electrical ill's was caused by burned wiring on the lighting fixture on the fan. The wires on the burned out bulb (turned out not to be burned out after all) were completely cooked. I removed the light fixture, replaced the lighting socket and pigtail, examined the remaining sockets and wiring, replaced the RF remote and back in business.
I have no idea why that happened, as we've been running CFL's for years AND when we didn't never exceeded 40W bulbs. Just for kicks, I checked our kitchen fan and the wiring was cooked on that one too, so I replaced it on that one too.
So..... check your fans for electrical issues, 2 of 5 of mine had severe issues!
I've got to get something like this, they are really quite useful for those who leave battery items for extended periods of time. I received a BIG Craftsman battery charger which I love, but it would be handy to have something smaller as well.
Not to get too off-topic, but this is what's on my camper.
It's the entire axle, not just a cap. The grease from the zerk flows through the axle and exit's behind the rear bearing, then pushes forward. You do this by spinning the wheel, when the grease comes out the front both bearings got lubed.
I was able to get the cover off the mattress, washed it really good. Put the foam outside washed good with water and laundry detergent, then to dry in the hot sun for a couple of days, spraying constantly with mold killer (to be safe). New is $250! Hopefully this will do the trick, that and the kids leaving the windows CLOSED!

Brilliant, VERY open to the talented amongst us. The logo needs to be based on this: (for this skin)
If interested, I have the psd file for the logo as well as the fonts used.
