1931 Hamilton Beach restoration

Gorgeous machine, and the final result is quite lovey.
I did have some set backs including accidentally twisting off the belt shaft. Oops! I was able to fix it with a properly sized bolt. The head was cut off and sanded smooth.

Hope you enjoy! Lots to see with this rebuild.

Great job! Honestly, by the looks of it, that rusted belt shaft would have never survived any kind of use anyway.

The inside of the motor reminds me of a Cadillac. And the brush guard (missing) almost looks identical.

Amazing job!

You have outdone yourself! What an amazing job indeed! Love it!

Fantastic job! I love these early uprights, especially the less-common brands.

Congratulations..

... a first class job done; a real labour of love.

You American members are so fortunate to have a good selection of seriously vintage uprights available.

Enjoy.
