“Tecopa Mines”

Starting the new year off with wealth as I was just gifted some wonderful new artifacts for the mine courtesy of the Mojave Desert Museum in Kingman, AZ.

Sorry for the wind sound. Cleo ate part of my noise canceling microphone.

  1. Just get a plastic masons tub for mixing and some vinegar. It's cheap and you fill up the tub and toss the rusty parts in it for a few days and just wire brush them and toss them back until you are happy with the results. Theres also electrolysis. Thats just a battery charger and an electrode made out any scrap steel. And a couple of wires to get it working. Either method works great it just depends on how quickly you want to get things cleaned up and usable again. That Cleveland was made about a mile from my house. The original building is still there but its not the main foundry now. I think they use it as storage now.

  2. You're probably familiar with this method, but I've had good results by using heat, and penetrating oil to free up sieved mechanical parts. Heat it to a couple hundred degrees then use the penetrating oi. . It will be sucked into the device as it cools.

    My favorite penetrating oil was the old version of Break Free. I freed up a seized Chevy 292 six cylinder engine in a '73 Chevy Step Van that others had given up on. I drove it over 5K miles without any other work. I made two trips from Ohio to Florida in it, and hauled 17,000 pounds of tools, parts and other things.
    You can get replacement foam windscreens for your microphone from places like TEMU.
