"My Classic Tire": Balancer Showdown!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hey, We're back! More of the highest quality investigative automotive journalism this time as we pitch our 1950's tire balancer against its newer electronic counterpart. We've chosen this early 70s economy tire and fitted it to our Studebaker wheel for maximum aesthetic enjoyment without regard to cornering prowess.
Thanks again to everyone who sent so many nice notes after we lost my dear Stel last month. I just needed some time off, and to spend some time with Francine, who got less attention than was ideal when Stel was ill. I'll be putting up videos regularly again now; I definitely have enough on the go!
All the best from me and Francine and the rest of the guys that help out on these heaps just for the laughs!
Cheers,
s&f

    Brings back old memories of my high school days working at the home town Sears automotive department. I was the number one tire changer, muffler changer, shock changer and was fortunate to experience the transition from bias-ply to radial tires. The smell of new bias-ply and radial tires from the early seventies still permeate my hairy nostrils to this day.

    Happy to have you back. I have also been suffering withdrawals. I have an old Alemite bubble balancer from the '50's. It seems to work just fine (No electronic problems). There were some Alemite balancers that spun the wheels on the car and balanced the drums, wheels and tires as a unit. As I remember there were 4 knobs you messed with to determine weight and placement. I'm waiting with baited breath (just ate a pizza with anchovies) for the next adventure.

    The 1952 Chevrolet User's Guide gave the same mis-inflation info. Volkswagens through the late 1950s and maybe beyond used 5.60-15 tires and standard tire size on 1958 Rambler Supers was 6.40-15. Here in the not so mysterious really East, many, if not most service stations used static (bubble) balancers. Once in a while, a large station would be equipped with a dynamic on the car balancer. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative episode.
