Hi all,
I recently purchased a 1974 unisaw, and am working on restoring it. It came with a unifence, and a "Delta Electronic Measurement System" which I believe is an electronic readout for the fence. I slide it onto the fence rail, and it reads from capacitive tape which is stuck to the underside of the rail.
I replaced the batteries, and it started up. But, the numbers on the screen constantly flicker, rarely settling on a single number. A couple of times, it stabilized and moving the device did change the distance readout so it seemed to work, albeit briefly. But, then it started up again...
In addition to the batteries, there is a wire which comes out of the device also. It ends in bare wire, so I'm guessing there's supposed to be a connector of some kind on the end of it. But, I don't know what it's supposed to connect to. So, I have a couple of questions:
1) What is the wire supposed to connect to?
2) Will connecting the wire fix the readout, or is the device toast?
3) How is the device supposed to connect to the fence?
4) Does anyone have a manual for this little guy?
Thanks in advance!
