| This machine is basically the ESA-0, with the more modern case. Since my ESA-0 is working nicely, I hope to be able to put this one back in order. | This machine is basically the ESA-0, with the more modern case.

| - | Initially I cleaned the exterior, designed and 3D-printed rollers and their axes for the base, and printed NEA gears to see if they would fit. As it turned out, the center hole of the NEA is narrower than the on in the CA1-13, so I revised the 3D model and reprinted some gears in ABS for the restoration work. I also plan to design and 3D-print the logos for the front and back, and the small indicator (MULT-DIV) for the front. | + | Initially I cleaned the exterior, designed and 3D-printed rollers and their axes for the base, and printed NEA gears to see if they would fit.

I'm also working on a new power cable: I'll model a plug from the machine's female connector (which is different from all others I've seen for CA1-13s online).
