Hello neighbors
Long-story-short... had a major surgery in March this year (Pi day). Bed ridden and could not (COULD NOT!) watch another daytime network TV show. Found YouTube much better. There I found ABOM, Diresta, found This Old Tony and what's the guy that starts off all of his shows with the Pledge of Allegiance? Anyway, got thoroughly obsessed with machining. Totally new to me.
Wanted a lathe but found a mill instead. A Cincinnati 2MI, Serial #2J2u1L-9. Help me with info. Got her running this weekend, she does not have the original 440/550V motor but rather a newer replacement 1PH 230V. But amazingly everything seems to work. Are those old motors available for refurb? I have access to phase converters and transformers and love getting things back to original. She is missing the Milling Bushing Arbor support (I think). I got a service manual from Ozark and am working through the pages. Are there parts forums, for sale forums?
What color was she originally? I have sanded and scraped through battleship gray, dental mint green and inside the motor cover is cinnamon red.
Posting here because I chased a couple of gothic vintage color links and they are no longer available on 'PM'.
Thanks and please forgive a newby if these questions are already answered in a FAQ. I swear I have been looking.
Thanks again!
