Earlier today, the town I live in contacted me as one of their water wells went down and asked if I could help troubleshoot. Long story short well motor was bad. The town electrician asked what I wanted to be paid, and knowing they had a SD-10 on the ground and ive been wanting the control box for it, a deal was made. I was also offered the siren, but I have no use for it, let alone anywhere to store it/power it. Considering my AR timer controlled a SD-10 (not the one my town has), it will fit with my electrical collection. I reglued the FS&S sticker to the starter cover and ill probably find a civil defense sticker for the yellow lid and lll hang it for display on my wall. Heres some photos of my afternoon project.

- After I was done fettling with the starter, I rigged it up to my AR, test/alert/attack/cancel worked as it should.

- Starter was in good shape. I applied 240 to it and despite the solenoid buzzing loudly, it still worked. I tore the solenoid apart and cleaned the rust of the magnets with sandpaper. Retested and sounded perfect. The comtact fingers were in decent shape for its age.
