Western Electric L1 Teletrainer Repair – Intro

Here is a peek of the repair rare thrift store find. Gotta love that W.E. Green!!! I took the two knobs off since one came broken and I am wondering if I should try and cast a new knob to replace the OG one. Also someone at the thrift store plugged this in and 100% sure the multi cap dried and shorted out. It’s insides were coated in potting material fumes. The transformer shows dead short, so I am hoping that it was not totally wrecked from a meltdown.

Stay tuned and take care of each other.

Lit Eye Balls

Resin and lit mixed upon some silica glass beads. I have found that you can cast onto glass if you first spray it with some mold release. I really like the Smooth-on line of casting and mold materials.

Also please be safe around these home UV bulbs. Some of them emit a crap tun of UV light and it is bad, really bad for your eyes and skin over time.

Gotta take care of each other.
