Rewire Job for Carol, a Benchside Chat - Sunday Morning Quickies, Ep. 70, February 12, 2023

This is a very long video, so I have chaptered it to make it easier to jump to relevant sections for those who may not want to site through the whole thing...
We'll start out helping viewer Valery by taking a closer look at the machinist jack I built for my sewing machine fixture. Next, we do some rewiring for my friend Carol, and service a pair of balance wheels for Singer potted motor machines.

This is the wiring grommet I use for potted motors when rewiring with 18 AWG Stinger SSPW18BK Wire
