Intro and a Winder Meteor ME301

[Joe Gwinn]

Thanks for the info! here's a little better pic of what all the tensioner has with it. I'd for sure need to replace the plastic pulleys, but is this not something I could have made?

Is there a patent number anywhere on it? That's your best bet for figuring them out. I do recall seeing patents.

I suggest you contact Meteor (info@meteor.ch) for the winder and tensioner manual. I did that three years ago for ME307 manual. They were very responsive, I received the manual next day.

Well, I went and got one of those wheels on order. I promise not to turn the knob without the motor running.
I do need the manual. Baby steps I suppose.




I did do some cleaning up of the machine.

Hello Tim. I have an ME 301 B, too, that i have been restoring. Hope yours is going well. PM me and we can keep in touch.

I recently had to fix the relay module for the indicator lights by tracking down the proper relay specs and ordering a replacement from Mouser. I also found a lower cost fix to the friction wheel with the same specs as the original. Let me know if you are having success witht the restoration.

Hi, a friend of mine bought an old Meteor ME 301 winding machine. None of us have any experience with winding transformers. Maybe someone here with this machine can make a basic video tutorial showing how to work with those machines?
