I thought I would post this here as well as in the main forum.
As many of you know, I repair meters for HCCTs (Hand Crank Coil Testers). What I do is a very small niche of the Model T hobby. I got into this because the person that was doing it many years ago passed. There was quite a gap until I was convinced (actually conned) to take up the banner. I had to learn about these meters from scratch.
I won’t be around forever and the need for this service will be a part of the hobby as long as HCCTs keep coming out of barns and elsewhere. I don’t want to see what I have learned disappear into the ether when I am too old to do this anymore.
I decided to capture what I have learned over the last 12+ years and put it down on paper. Attached is the “HCCT Meter Handbook”. It is 100 pages of what I do and how I do it. I am making it accessible to all who want it. Feel free to share it on down the line. I will be sending a printed copy to the MTFCA library.
I am still doing meters ( I ain’t gone yet
). My hope is that this knowledge and my experience will carry on long after I am gone.↓
