VPI 16.5

My HW17 is 20+ years old and still going strong.

I junked my old vpi 16 as I got another one that I fixed.
The old parts may be available.

If you find parts let me know what you have, they may help me cobble something together.

I still have the vacuum unit and platter with motor.
they were working but there is some rust.

Got Ander's parts, thanks again! I've got a few other parts on a fedex truck. I need to figure out how it should be wired together without burning anything up. After getting the wiring down and getting the other parts, I can start building a new box to house it in.

I really need to do a simple electrical course.

One power source. Two motors. Two switches, one for each motor. This is how how I think I should do it, but not 100% sure so I'm asking.

I guess alternatively I could just use two separate power cables, one to each switch.

Also, never wire up a vacuum motor to test it with bolting the motor down. That was nearly a disaster.

This was all AC and had no diodes.
Simple hook up with switches in series with the motors.
