my zenith cleaning machine rebuild
hi everybody, todd the beginner here.
so, i bought an old zenith cleaning machine, it worked but smelled really funky when running the motor so i decided to rebuild it.

i started by tearing apart the motor, i cleaned the commutator, and replaced the brushes

the old wiring was a bit of a nightmare

so i rewired it after blasting and painting

i called this a rebuild and not a restoration because i went for white, not original black

i think it is very pretty, the original green glass jars just top it off.
