Brass HO Steam repair

I do not know of any but I did a search and here are some possibities.

Also there is a Yahoo Group you can join & ask:

If you are willing to try to undertake the repair yourself, see MR November, 1955 page 32 for a good step by step procedure. The author is John Page. HTH. I hope this message won't appear twice, but, an earlier posting seems to be floating somewhere in cyberspace. Thank you.

If you can't get hold of this issue, what he basically did was smoke- test the driver to locate the shorted insulation. This was a literal smoke- test, briefly done, with a big old tinplate transformer. Then he drilled the ends of the bad insulation with a thin drill, raked out the bad stuff with a jeweler's saw blade, and filled the gap with thick shellac. Nowadays you could use epoxy, but the epoxy mines hadn't opened back then.

The type of short repaired was in tire-insulated drivers. Other types of insulation would require different repairs.
