One of my other projects...

[Shadow-D]

Some of you may remember, back in December, a member was selling an old Dietz 7-40 Beacon that, for lack of better terms, was a basket case. The light looked like it was stored under water for a year or 4...


I decided to take a chance on this "project" and see what I could do with it. Rather than spend a lot of time typing, I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking. Keep in mind I am not finished yet, I'm just sharing my progress...


Before Pictures:





After:





And a video for all to see...

The only thing I needed to replace was the brush springs and the lens...

Wow, that's very impressive. I saw it and thought nobody would even consider buying it. Now I'm glad someone did.

Thanks


The only thing that I was real worried about was the motor... I wasn't sure if I would be able to get it working again after it was encased with rust...

Shadow-D shouts: "CLEAR!!!" and zaps Dietz beacon.


Dietz beacon's ECG goes:

We then all go in awe


Good job, Doc!
