Elektra Maxi


It's been a while since I posted... but have been very busy on the bench. I have been rebuiding from ground up an Elektra Maxi. This came in in the kind of shape that usually means scrap metal... Not working and full of scale, grime & decay. I know these Elektra units are good solid performers and I have been using it to train my new 'Tech' Ken. So I have to say that Ken has done quite a lot of the repair with me looking over his shoulder.

It needed just about everything from procon pump, all gaskets, solenoids, acid bath, complete rebuild of groups and now it needs a push button pad for 1 side. I think it will be worth it for the owner who will be selling it as soon as we get it done & it will be a great piece of equipment for a small business. Here is a pic of the unit on its 1st heat up (no leaks). I will post another when it is all dressed up.
