...some help please...

Una bella macchina!!! You did a great job on the restoration.

Grazie amico! Sei molto gentile.

My next target is restore case of 653, but the problem are PORTER CABLE stickers…

I don’t know how to do it.

Oh my.

Diggin’ the shiny!

And from the sound of it, you’ve done just as good a job on the insides too.

Ottimo lavoro (I think that’s “good work man!” in Italian?).

Seriously:

 

Thank you L.I.T.

thanks for the compliment in italian!

Mi rende felice.

Hy guys,

thank you for your inspirations:

after restoration of Porter Cable 653 EHD of a few months ago I developed a real passion, almost addictive…

Bought from ebay and totaly restored (ball bearings, cleaning, some repairs and polishing):

Skil Model 100 Type 4 7.5 Ampere (NOT original metal case…)

Rockwell 653 EHD ( no case )

You can see before and after treatment

I would like to have your own opinion, thank you people.

Greetings from Italy!!!















Bellisimo.

Yes.  Absolutely nothing wrong with 5.5 Amps.  There is a nice one on Ebay now for $600.  Not overpriced for.something that has been gone thru as the seller claims.  Everything else listed is over priced.
