Ariscats, I had to run downstairs to see if my scope was still there. Mine is the COS6100M and doesn't have the brand name on it. Versatile instrument.
 
Nice scope! Not familiar with the brand, but @ 100Mhz, should take care of most people's needs.

It was made in Japan by KIKUSUI.It was the first not US made scope (That is Tektronix) bought by
the US Navy.This was in the early eighties.Somewhere exists the service manual.If need arises,
i don't wish and i don't believe, it is very reliable instrument,imight be of help.

Stern, any links to others with this window motor mod? I have used them for car audio motorization and wondered if anyone used them for machines. Thanks for posting!

Actually, it was the forum members here and over at the Home Shop Machinist that pointed me to the window motors. I spent a long time looking at stepper motors and such and all were expensive. Not sure where but there were at least 4 or 5 people that posted pics about using these motors so I decided to give it a try. When I hooked it up to a battery I was surprised at the torque on these things. From all the mod posts I have seen, the pics posted in this thread gave me the answers to some questions I had about doing it and making the "clutch" to turn it on and off.

Well thanks to all the help of the forum members, I got a window motor today and started making a power feed for the mill. checked out the torque on it, and it should be more than enough (I cant stop it from turning lol). Made a dog bit to bolt onto the table feed screw and a matching on to mate to it. Then welded on the gear that came with the motor (as the gear engages the motor and I can use that as the engagement point to switch it on and off).

The two bits fit nice and will allow the longer bit to slide back and forth the engage the motor gear.

Made a plate to mount to the table, and figured out how big the sides have to be for proper engagement

Then mounted up the motor to a plate I cut

With any luck I can finish this up in the next day or so depending on how much time I can get lol

With all the awesome projects on this thread I'm a little embarrassed to add mine which is kinda lame but handy. I hate putting tools on the chip pan. I have a bad back and have to stoop to see past the carriage. I made an easily movable and removable tool tray and put some magnets on it just to keep my tools out where I can access them without much movement on my part.

Damn, dont be embarrassed, thats a great idea :) I have a lot of mine behind the lathe but not much space, definitely going to do the same thing after seeing it :)
 
Stern, keep us updated on the window motor drive, that might work well on my burke too!
