Another distributor machine.

Never have been able to free up the frozen adjuster arm on the old Rotunda machine. Haven't given up, but...

Today I picked up an old Sun. It's in nice shape, but has the same problem. The adjuster doesn't go up and down, BUT this one looks much easier to soak in something to get it freed up. Also needs a bunch of wiring work, but it's a great looking machine.

I'll probably sell parts from the old one if anybody needs anything.

Rotunda??? That's an ALLEN LOL

I STILL do not have mine back together

I have had great success in freeing up badly corroded / rusty parts buy soaking them in a 10 to one mix of molasses and water. soak parts for a week or two and bam no rust. there a bunch of you tube video's on this and it works as advertised. Molasses is cheaper at the farm feed store 20 for a 5 gallon.

If needed I have some parts for the sun MDT.

50/50 acetone and used ATF works great on rust too

I have an MDT also, what do you have in the stash?

I wish I knew someone by here that had one I could go over and play around with for a Saturday.....

3 504 for backup, think 2 504 and 4 oir so MDT/SDT's. I like the 504 the best because it goes to 8000 crank RPM.

Thanks for the reply. I wish I had one of the later ones with the 8000 rpm capability but I'm not unhappy with the MDT's 4000 rpm capability.

Nothing wrong with them. Paramount has new parts for them. Best thing you can do is a capacitor upgrade and if it thumps a new drive wheel. Some of the stuff I do I need the higher rpm, but most are bellow 5K at the crank.
