    Tubs, thanks again… I got a look at the Elto Rudder Twin (model J) today. The timer is in need of help. The bushing is crumbled, and the strap ( link) is missing.

    Did you make the brass bushing from scratch?  How about a new link?  I haven’t called Art DeKalb yet to see if he has castings?

    Interesting story with this motor, belongs to a fellow that I just met at a restaurant today, turns out he is a neighbor. The motor was his fathers, been in safe storage for 40 years. Very much wants to get it running , use it and have fun with the grandkids. This is one of the few motors, with which I’m unfamiliar, Fortunately there are other friends that are. The motor looks like it’s in good shape, the coil is good… ran the last time that “dad” ran it!

    All in all , I think that we will gain a new and enthusiastic club member.
