I  removed the timer assembly and found that the trigger bar had been pushed back. I spun it back around so that it would make contact and in the process a wire let go  poor solder joint.     I have two ultrasonic base units I would like to send to someone and get them repaired.  Is there anyone around that  troubleshoots/ repairs them?

If you can't get an exact size, just get something slightly larger and file/sandpaper it down to the correct dimensions. If the pigtail wire is too long or has a different terminal, cut off the old terminal and spot weld or solder it to the new brush.

I do that all the time for the motors I repair.

Here is a 3d print of a "scaled" mason jar lid. Scaling doesn't always work for 3d print files unless they are parametric designs. It worked well  in this case.

The L&R cleaner and rinse I am using came in plastic jugs so I am expecting PLA printing material to holdup just fine. ABS could also be printed.

I started with the stl file below and expanded it so the absolute outside dimension was 4 inches between the tips of opposite points.

Enjoy, 

Matt

I've got a couple of machines, a Mastermatic and a vari-matic.  I have to restore both, but started with the Mastermatic.  Got it torn down, but the basket motor is beyond my capabilities to restore.  Does anyone know of a shop in the US (I'd be glad to ship) that could handle the motor repair/restoration?

 

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

The OD of the threads on my L&R jars is about 3.75".  Yours is 4"? The Mason jar threads match the L&R threads once you scaled the model?

Thanks again!

So the 4 inches is an outside dimension between the points of the lid.

Thanks.  I measured mine with a caliper.  They're 95mm or 3.74" OD (between the thread points of the jar).

When you scaled up the Mason jar model, do the threads (pitch, height, etc) match your jars?  In other words, do the lids you printed correctly thread/screw onto your jars?

Thanks again!

I took Nibbler's lead and downloaded a Mason jar model from Thingiverse. If you have Solidworks, the Thingiverse download includes a Solidworks part file (and STEP, STL, OBJ). Having a native SW part, I scaled it to match my jars and added the lettering for a bit of pizzazz.  Finally, I generated a 4.5MB STL file and had it printed at my local makerspace.  The print cost was $10 (USD).

It threads on nicely and tightens up. I put some water in the jar to see if the lid would hold liquid.  It doesn't.  So, I'm going to modify the lid model to receive a silicone O-ring or (hopefully) a standard Mason jar gasket.

thanks for the input.  The jars and lids are original,each with L&R molded in.  The jars are also molded with threads, however the lids are not threaded - they just sit there.  I've read L&R had thread-on lids but they seem somewhat rare.  It seems like it would have been a good thing the have, I mean who wouldn't want to seal it up when not in use?  (perhaps the L&R wash salesman?)  This model btw is the mastermatic.

I looked around the web for a screw on that might fit, no luck.  Cling wrap might work, but I know it would make me mental having t futz about with it.  I I'm going to try the heavy steel lid, and I have some neoprene rubber that would make a good gaskets.  If successful photo's to follow.

TPU also might be a candidate.  I have printed some lids with it (not for this application).  You need a printhead that can handle the flexible filament.

    • A already know the size movement I have the problem is the dial a had purchased has a dimension 20.6mm wide a want to find a watch case that going to fit the dial perfectly 
    • Hi.  I would like to take issue here regarding battery driven , watches, clocks,etc. I will and do repair these clocks in fact I have sever al in my collection as well as the regular mechanical ones. I have one on my mantle piece over 60 years old tha belonged to my wife’s Aunt,  long gone Iam afraid and it has been cleaned etc and never missed a beat and is accurate. Every one has their preduices as regards Electrical /electronic Horology but I regard it as part of the progress time line of the art of Horology and to be treated as such. Like Darwin’s theory of evolution it evolved.  Two cavemen knocking rocks together and a shard broke off , looking at it he worked out if it was stuck on the end of a stick he would have a spear. Likewise his pal seeing what he was up to picked up a piece  and did the same, now that’s evolution. Some clockmaker decided to build a clock that ran with a battery and no spring to wind up and break, progress and both the mechanical and battery driven clocks evolved, the battery ones got better to the point that if it broke you changed the complete unit. Likewise watches did the same but both can be repaired by people who approach Horology with an open mind without preduice.  We all have our likes and dislikes bu I for one would never dismiss any technology because I don’t like it.   The mobile phone is a good example of modern technology at work as is the automotive industry. There buttons and switches in my car I don’t use because to me they are not nesessary but I still drive the car.
    • I haven't gone through all the reading of what it might be or not. The first thing I would do if nothing obvious stands out is replace the mainspring, you have to start at the source of the power. Nine times out of ten that is the problem.  
    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
