I have a 1953 Sun dist. machine - it works (turns on.) I also have the operators manual however, there is no wiring schematic. I want to check out the unit, replace parts, before I really use it.
Thanks

We have obtained parts for our two Sun machines from Masters. (800)385-5811. They buy, sell, and repair most equipment.
 
Paramount has a capacitor replacement kit and also sells a retro fit to replace the neon/xenon/whatevernon flash with LEDs. He's the one to talk to. Which model is it? Any pics?

Do you have the flathead adaptor for it? If so, mount a Dist. run it. It is a great learning experience and you will see if everything works. I have two from 1948 and had to do little and they both work good.lf it is making a rumbling sound when turning there is a small hard rubber wheel that drives the turntable and it gets flat spots on it from lack of use. Pretty easy machine to work on.
 
I had a Sun distributor machine that i didn't use very often, but it worked great. One day walked passed it and saw the Tac gauge was black and the other one Brown. I haden't used it for several weeks, but it was plugged in.
When I opened the back EVERYTHING was chareg black. sometime in the past few weeks it burned up when nobody waz around.
Now I just have an old battery and coild system and my Tac, dwell meter. Even the strobe works. coulda lost the whole dam place.
 
Mark at Paramount is the go to guy anything Sun Machine. As a matter of fact I just ordered another tester from him this morning.
