Damp here this morning, and the insulation resistance on a piece of workshop equipment seemed a bit low. I could influence the reading by pressing my hands against the outside of one of its controls. That, and the fact it is getting a bit stiff to operate, show that it's time for this control to be stripped down and cleaned. Metal deposits and dirt build up inside over the years and cause leakage.
The main core of the thing consists of 36 parts threaded onto a shaft. I slide them onto a long screwdriver to preserve their order and orientation as I take them off. Then as I clean each one I put it back onto the shaft.
What equipment is it part of? The maker's name will be familiar but the equipment itself probably not so much. A couple of people here will get it in one. Give the others a chance.
