Nice find...you definitely can't beat free, even if it's just good for parts!! I like the control panel...a blend of old and new (50's panel with 60's-style knobs). What kind of Surgilator does this have? | ||

Hi Chris, You sure do find the neatest things!! I am also going to say mid to late 50's. Looks like a deluxe machine with a lighted console, at least I am hoping it has that. Have fun and continue to share those pictures with us as you work on her. Terry | ||

auto parts store
guess im lucky.. i work for a nissan dealer so i can snatch up on all kinds of stuff..we have plastic spray that they use on used car engines to make them all shiny..thats all the can says is plastic spray..but im sure its some sort of poly..i used it on the tag agi and that was a good 2 years ago..it seems to hold up pretty good..but then again i only wash soft items like socks ect..am sure zippers ect would scratch a whole lot more..

oh she is a mean girl
i guess this will teach me to work in the garage with out having shoes on.. had the top proped up with a cut off 2x4 went to lift the top and the 2x4 fell out and right onto my foot..broke 2 toes..so anyway she looks great and everything works except she wont spin..her wig wag works and the slide bars move but no spin.. i have never had a pool apart but im guessing there must be a clutch or brake sruface in there that is pooped..what do i need to take apart and what parts do i need to start looking for???
