Hi all - Here's my Tonfunk Tonjewel - Model 5198.

Got it about 2 months ago. It looked like you might have wrapped a logging chain around it and dragged it down a muddy ox path.

The seller said it would not function but all I found wrong with it was the fuse was positioned on the 220 volt side. I switched it and it runs GREAT.

Totally cleaned and adjusted the mechanix and then I totally stripped and refinished the case with 4 coats of handrubbed laquer.

It's really something I am proud of.
