Antique Armature Testing Growler [Restoration]

This video is Rated “E” 😂

❤

One of my early jobs was with a small rewinding company, I too had not seen one of these in many years. Couple of things, I recall that we used to test for similar AC voltage across adjacent communtator segments using an AC voltmeter. I do not recall using the probes to test for short circuits to ground, but then I was working in the UK back then and 240v was even less of a joke than 120v!!! For that we would use a "Megger" (a hand cranked high voltage insulation tester)

چنددور سیم پیچ وبه چه اندازه استفاده کردید من میخوام برایه خودم بسازم وسوال دوم اینکه شما لامپ روباسیم پیچ سری کردید وازبرق220 ولت استفاده کردید یااینکه ولتاژ پایینتر لطفا توضیح بدید ممنون

I didn’t have a clue what it was but very useful tool

My wife’s growler needs an overhaul hers was manufactured in 1966.

The E stands for aliEns.

makes me wonder if people still know where does the xfiles theme come from..

No sé inglés pero lo que haces es increíble y me relaja, felicidades, además tú rostro me recuerda a un amigo muy querido, sigue adelante loco, lo de loco no es una ofensa, soy Cubano y acá es sinónimo de único en su clase, además de otras cosas pero esa es la que aplica para tí

if you use a 15 watt bulb it would be safer also if the two probes touch together all it does is light the 15 watt bulb the higher watt bulb the more current just use common sense safety

I think I'd build a non conductive holder to secure the probes while not in use.

Great video! You could add some resistors to the continuity tester inside the box to drastically reduce the current to a safe level and use a relay for the light if you want to keep the original style of bulb. I don't know what the safe level of current is, but you don't need more than a few milliamps.
No one will see it and it will be safe to use.

Holy crap, I would not trust that on/off switch. It looks like there is nothing preventing the contacts from shorting to the case and shocking you?

So basically an industrial vibrator.

It's called a growler 😂😂😂

50 years ago I worked in a shop that did automotive speedometer and electrical work, including rebuilding starters and generators. We had a growler mounted on a bench next to where we made up speedometer cables. That growler got used every day.

Subscribed just because of the intro? Hilariously 90s

Very good content. I loved it. Thank you..

Lots of growlers back in the 80s nudie mags too....

Those probes need big cone collars like they give pets.

I've never seen anyone shrinking shrink tube with a propane torch lol😂

Instead of spreading up the camera I’d rather here yah talk about what ur doing and how each part in what your doing that makes this work . I love the vids tho but lol I like hearing about what your doing an how to do what ur doing instead of just watching

Look that... 🔺🔺 E🔺🔺😱😱

Are those "E"s not just maker's marks? What's the big mystery? (Not that it wasn't a funny bit ☺)

I'm sad to see you are likely using the wrong screwdriver. Modern flatheads (screws and screwdrivers) are V shaped. That means they are wider at the top than the bottom. However, old-timey screws are parallel. If you use a modern screwdriver to screw those, the slot will wear out. And look ugly. There are special screwdrivers for that.

Большое спасибо за это замечательное видео! Давно его искал. Можете ли Вы показать схему подключения более подробно?

E .e .e .e!

I wonder if he knows what a Growler is slang for.

Every time I saw the "E" I could only think about the Markiplier E meme

I have heard about growlers and have even seen a few but have never seen one in use or knew how they work. Thank you so much for this video and explaining how they work in terms that are able to be understood.

Wow that brought back memorys I'm a retired Electro Mechanical Engineer and used one of those at least a couple of times a week when i used to rebuild almond Winding Machines and other Winding Coil Winding machines Nice Job , love your Videos your a old School Like Me When things were made to last and be repaired Great channel

I would love to see what ElectroBOOM would do with that. Next Sub milestone possibly?

I'm sorry but something called a growler is always going to bring out he giggling 9 year old in me. We called something else totally different a growler where I'm from.

I happened across your channel a few months back. I absolutely love your wit and humor! I've watched this video several times just to laugh at the xfile E music.
E = extraterrestrial lol. Quirky to the max!

E was here.

I love your videos! Great and informative!

Oh goody, now all you need is a charged capacitator on a table lol.

Wait… your first move was to just cut the supply wires? WTF? You just butcher stuff in the disassembly which makes more work for you in the restoration.

However, maybe that is the point… you just hack stuff apart so you can then look like an artist when you “restore” it.

On this one maybe you should have taken a sledge hammer to the outer case and then you could have shown us your welding and body filler skills!

I think you are doing something special for arthritis suffer ers everywhere.

You could probably cast some silicone caps for those hot sticks along with a good double pole single throw switch.
