Thanks! It's probably one of my best purchases, the indoor bike I bought I stopped using because my but hurt and I didn't like the sweat just pouring off of me, really like the rowing feeling, the noise you generate (makes you feel you really are 'moving' something) and the combination of technique ...

Just to update, still rowing and really LOVING this machine. 5k is the perfect distance to have a quick and satisfying workout. And although it might sound silly, watching the silver sparkly center beam when I grab my handle makes me feel motivated to train more and make the effort of pimping my erg...

:mrgreen: yes, that would have made it a lot more silent without that noisy flywheel :mrgreen: Indeed, chain has been running next to the roller for a while... The seat rollers were surprisingly more silent, made a big difference. As I literally changed every other moving part and most were pretty o...

Did today my first 5k, still like it, it works fine, so many more km to row :mrgreen: difficult to take decent pictures in my gym in the dark, the sparkle does not really show very well but it's great irl :mrgreen: Don't mind the junk, I recently built the homegym and need to finish the roof and the...

It's together again! It was more easy than I thought to put it together, as easy as taking apart. Drag at damper setting 1 is 100, at 10 it's 229. It's much much more quiet and smooth, it also looks nice. Will make some pics later, now I finally want to row! First time doing any rowing for years and...

Ok thanks, was totally confused

Yes, can't wait to put it together again and feel how it rows and measures!

I'm not a native English speaker, what do you mean? Df is depth of field but shutter speed does not impact df, that is the diafragma. Still I don't get your sentence? Thanks for explaining.

Finally got round to painting, I'm both estatic and dissapointed :mrgreen: Painted the front high legs, u beam and both sides of the damper silver metallic, so all 'grey' original parts + front legs, love it. 3 coats of primer, 3 silver, 2 "sparkles" and 2 high shine varnish. https://i.ibb.co/dksV0V...

Thanks! The C is completely disassembled. As I disassembled anyway, I thought why not paint it, it's anyway for myself, as I know it probably ruins resale value. Was surprised how well some black parts looked after just a very torough cleaning. I sanded down and degreased the parts I want to paint. ...

Thanks a lot, did not know we had the designers of this wonderful machine on this forum, even in my topic! All parts are ordered, so next week I should be able to assemble them all, give it a good cleaning, and start rowing using the vintage PM2 and slightly modernized classic model C! I'm curious t...

I took a close look at the pics and I can't discern much that needs replacing. The drag factor range indicates to me that either the machine has not been used much or it has been well maintained. So I would clean and lube and run it as is once you get the seat working correctly. * The two top seat ...

I have done some pulls, at 1 the drag factor was 98, at 10 it was 208. Off course fluctuating, but after a minute, these were the readings. I already took the seat off because the sound made me go mad, so this was done standing with 1 arm :? Drag factor range is OK. Drag factor is measured during e...

A la carte resuscitation of mechanical cadavers is seldom cheap and cheerful. Time to have resort to The Greater Fool Theory of Reselling. And rotate the sacrificial bronze bushing to engage the circumferential notches with the curve of the u-bolt handle connector. Value added for the next victim o...

... => the main reason I would switch is because I guess it's a matter of time before the PM2 stops working, and I would need to buy an adapter for the PM to get the heart rate going. Or should I just keep using the PM2 until it falls apart? ... Why would the PM2 stop working soon if it is still op...
