Subject: The car lift project is complete! Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 11918 posts Posted on: 2009-04-07 12:16:34

Some of you may recall that I acquired a 2-post Bend-Pak car lift last year. The only problem was that (a) it weighs a frakkin ton and, (b) it was cheap because it requires three-phase power.

Well, I'm happy to report that after much experimentation and a relatively minor number of mistakes, the three-phase rotary converter is working and the lift is now lifting!

Pics to come shortly...
