    DoAll table feed cylinder leaking

    Ok, I got the cylinder rebuilt and decided to clean out the hydro tank to see what got in there to wreck the cylinder. When I took the side cover off and looked in there; I immediately saw what happened. Some idiot took a saws-all and cut off the intake pipe for the pump and didn't bother to...

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    Success !! it was the capacitor. I found one on eBay with similar numbers on it and wired it in and it seems to be working. Thanx for all the help !!!

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    Do you have any idea where I can get a replacement ? It seems to be obsolete and I am having problems finding one .

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    OK, I think I figured out what the problem is. I think its the silver thing in the pic with the red circle around it. With it disconnected; I now get a 34 VDC reading on #19 and #20 wires going out to the chuck. If I hit demag; I can see the voltage drop down and flip flop polarity. So I'm...

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    I can't believe how clean your controller looks. Does the tag say what the output is ?

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    Hey Cyanide, do you get voltage reading across the prongs in the socket of your controller going out to chuck when turned on ?

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    I was thinking about that. Whats if I shut off the power, switched the pos and neg wires; and lowered the voltage and turned it back on and off till magnetism was gone ? Hillbilly Demag. My main concern is not to damage my chuck. I know there is someone out there that can figure out how to fix...

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    Do you think a power supply like this one would run my chuck temporally until I can get my controller fixed ?

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    I have been thinking the same thing that something is shorting out. And I have probably 20 hours with the multi meter trying to find the short and chasing down the wiring trying to figure out what goes where. I also have a theory that both the mag and demag is on at the same time drawing too...

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    and when I turn it to full power it trips the breaker even while magnet is not hooked up

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    Ok, do you have any ideas for the power supply ? Do you know what the effect of the rheostat is in the controller? Does it turn up/down volts or amps to increase or decrease holding power ?

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    I believe it is a selenium rectifier. I looked at the backside of the socket in the controller and the center prong doesn't have anything connected to it. I think the positive and negative DC is supposed to go out the 2 wires and that they flip during demag.

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    when I say Rectifier I'm referring to the blue thing in picture with the square fins on it. it has 35 VAC going in it from transformer and 24 VDC coming out of it.

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    There is no voltage across the 2 prongs in the socket coming out of the controller when the controller is on. But if I put one probe on 1 prong and the other to the negative on the rectifier I get 24 volts. If I touch the probe to the other prong in the socket with the negative still touching on...

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    and if I turn the dial up to full power it kicks the breaker in the controller. While not hooked to the chuck.

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    also, I get 6.4 ohms across the 2 outside prongs going to the chuck.

    Does anybody have a DoAll selectron LV-24 controller

    thank you, and yes there are 3 wires on the plug but the middle prong is not connected to anything in the controller. In other words; its not used. just the 2 outside prongs are used and they both seem to be positive. I don't seem to have a negative.

    DoAll table feed cylinder leaking

    I don't have any pics of it. But I went to the shop and they showed it to me. It is a double ended cylinder with shafts out both ends that screw into a plunger in middle. The seals around plunger were shredded and there for the plunger was probably riding on the inner bore of cylinder for how...

    DoAll table feed cylinder leaking

    I wound up taking it to hydraulic shop and the guy told me the rods were scored and had to be replaced. I had to take to a hydraulic rebuild shop and when they took it apart informed me that the inner bore of the whole cylinder was scored also and needed to be replaced. The final estimate is...
