Restoring a 30 year old Rotary 4 Post Alignment Lift

I purchased a $2000 RUSTY 4 post Rotary Alignment lift with Center Airjacks and a Hunter 511 alignment machine. Looking back it was a mistake. Restoring it was a way bigger project than I anticipated, but I got it done. I used every rust removal method possible: electrolysis, vinegar, sandblasting, wirewheel and sanding.

I ended up having to replace sections of metal, a cable, a pulley, safety locks, and piston seals. That combined with some automotive primer/paint puts me to around $3200 invested which is nothing compared to the time I have into this thing. I'm glad this project is behind me. It should work well for my personal hobby shop.

Now that I know these things inside and out I'll be doing another video in the near future going over the best way to disassemble/assemble/maintain them. I'll also cover what to look for so you can avoid some of the mistakes I made.
