Repairs and Training
I have been mostly lurking / sometimes posting on RCM for quite a few years now, and have become aware of two recurring threads. First is the repair of shop equipment, and the other is training and where and how to get it. I have a problem that may have a solution based on these situations. The problem I have is that my Anilam digital read has quit working, and I suspect the power supply. The solution that I envision is that I swap machine shop instruction for the repair of my DRO. Now for the added inducement. I live in a resort/recreation/retirement community located in central Arkansas. My prospective repairman/student could, for example, work with me in the morning, then vacation with the family in the afternoon; boating, camping, fishing, etc. I have a hobby shop that I feel is well equipped, by most home standards. It has 2 Harrison lathes, and Excello mill, a Boyar Schultz surface grinder, 2 band saws, drill press, and other smaller equipment. It is well equipped to provide for basic shop instruction. My background includes a five year apprenticeship for tool and die making in a federally recognized program. Plus an additional five years working in tooling job shops, before moving on to tool design, and eventually manufacturing engineering. So I feel qualified to provide instruction in basic recreational machining. So, is there any interest out there? If so, email at: jnormile (at) cswnet.com Thanks John Normile |
Repairs and Training
I'm just wondering, have you contacted Anilam about repair service? They're
one of many companies that don't seem to care about email inquiries, so you'll most likely need to call them. Maybe someone else can comment about their repair rates. Your training offer is a thoughtful offer. Someone with a reasonably good understanding and/or working knowlege in electronic repair should be able to troubleshoot a power supply fault (if that's the problem), but the microprocessor counter circuits aren't as common to many other types of other electronic gear.
