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.
