OM 4way cleaning

I couldn't wait until tonight. :)

Here is how it looked before:

After a soak in vinegar and scrub with a toothbrush:

I forgot to mention, it wasn't turning at all before the cleaning. I guess the calcium hardened and made is seize.

Afterward, it turns just fine.

Until the next project...

I forgot to add one comment:

The guy who designed this was a genius! My dad was a machinist for 35 years so I have seen some amazing work. I bet dad would have approved.

:)

The only thing I would change is the ability to change the motor speed. I say that before I have used one. I may feel different after hooking it up.

Thanks!

That will be a while. I have to move in about 4 months and the tank won't be setup until after that.

However, I will do a mock up and water test before I move. That way I have plenty of time to react to anything unexpected.

I will start a thread and post picks when I start on it.
