Dear friends of the forum,
I recently picked up from a flea market for 5.00 $ a little Dumore D3 dental lathe made in 1938 !!! I started restoring it because upon inspection at home I noticed that the main cable was damaged and there is no ground at all; the engine works but I would like to restore it and modernize it a bit.
First off, the label says " Type D3 N0. 2676 Volts 115 Watts 250 full load speed 5000 RPM 1/6 30 min rating " now, it has a little know to select the speed, and it is double shaft. Upon taking it apart it had a cylinder wrapped in tiny metal ( I guess a resistance???) that was falling apart and some "thick sheets of paper and wax like material " what is it???
Could you guys help me restore it and make it safe? Pics are to follow.
