Show us your drills!
I've been inspired by Youtube videos celebrating vintage electric drills, and of adding a second old Wolf to my accumulation. I was pleased to get a Bosch (EW7UBJ517?) working - I had posted on this some time ago but been unable to find a three legged capacitor/choke. I fitted a suppressor cap from brush to earth and simply joined the other two wires. It works beautifully and has a comfortable weight and feel. That's the first one. The others are a Wolf found last weekend at a car boot for £3, DeSoutter, Scintilla (needs a chuck), another Wolf, and a Black and Decker (kitchen wrecker). The B&D is nothing like so solid but is still a nice drill to use. I'd particularly like to know more about the Bosch, as I have found nothing like it on the web. Love them all. I believe it's good to be aware of the big ones, known as wrist breakers, but would still like to find one. All the drills are working.
