Restoration of a C-55E

[reddarb]

I am putting my C-55 back together and I did not take a picture of how the port door switch is hooked up. I don't have a problem with the wiring part but how it is mechanically hooked up to the door. So any pictures or description would help.

Does anybody have a vend motor available for this machine or one that comes out of a c-124? Let me know I have been looking.

On the vend motor, it is possible to have it fixed.  Take it to an armature shop if you can find one in your area.  My motor was locked up solid and I could not find another one for anything.  My father in law suggested taking it to an armature shop downtown.  He said they could fix almost any motor.  I took it in and a week and $70 later got the motor back in working condition.  It's worth a try.

Hi Reddarb

I think this is what your looking for (see attached).

Thank you for the pictures, I am missing the part that goes on the switch. I guess I will have to fabricate that piece.

Let me know if you need any measurements of lengths to the bends or I can trace on paper and email you a copy.
