  1. Wow swillk, that turned out beautifully!! I hope mine turns out as nice as that one! I just obtained a 400 from eBay that has the stand with the 3 legs. It's rusty and crusty, but does turn, although I can feel the worm gear bind every now and again. I plan on disassembling it to clean it up and to (hopefully) fix the binding issue. I have a broken 400 crank case that I might be able to use for parts (the whole fan and cowling was gone, and it looks like the worm gear on that one had snapped where it protrudes out the front for the fan assembly to attach to, though I think the brass gear and other gears inside are still in good shape). I was wondering if you had any tips on breaking it down for cleaning. Can't seem to find a decent set of plans on how it disassembles. Any ideas? I also plan to fully document the breakdown of mine piece by piece since I can't find a good step by step instruction set, so hopefully that will help others in the future. But any help you can throw my way would be much appreciated! Congrats again on how beautiful that one turned out! Thanks!!
