The headboard is removed from the headbox. Time to rebuild the steppers, relays and scorereels. Thankfully, it is a wedgehead and there is only one set of scorereels to be rebuilt !

Here is the headboard removed




Fast forward to the first Stepper rebuild. I use machine oil (3 in 1) on the bakerlite and on the shaft. Prior to rebuilding it, it was sluggish - operational - but only just !





Rebuilt credit unit. Was also a bit sluggish, but it works 100% now !





I removed the scorereel housing as it had some surface corrosion - enough to annoy me ! I cleaned it with Ranex, windex and some brasso. Looks heaps better !





Steppers rebuilt, all the jones connectors have been cleaned (with ranex as there was some surface corrosion) and the relays have been rebuilt - including the contacts cleaned and adjusted. All that is left to do are the scorereels.





Here's the first scorereel completed !
