If you're confused, think how I feel, but it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. The controller panel works well, but the missing part on the main panel renders the automatic shutdown feature useless. I'll probably figure out and fabricate the missing part someday, but in the meantime, I'll just use my finger to flip the simple switch.

A question a lot of people would ask is, 'How does it run?' My answer, 'I don't know.' As I mentioned earlier, I'm not a big fan of total restoration. Although I'm very confident it will run, I hate to see it get all slobbered up, which is what happens to everything I've ever seen that was restored. Will I start it? You bet, but not for a while.

Note: As usual, the most important part of this project is missinginformation, especially wiring diagrams. If you've seen a plant like this, or something similar, or have access to information and wiring diagrams, please contact me. Thanks.
