Instructions in lid.

Dang ! Wrong lid, no instructions - I'm in a bad way !

That is in, in-creditable condition, can you re-produce the label? Thanks for sharing.

I believe R.V. has them.

I’m lucky enough too to have an original label in mine.
Here’s my coils and box. I restored the coils and switch.
I used black oxide on the tops.
I purchased the coil box mostly done, but the switch needed some help and the coils did as well.Very satisfying project.
I did use new snap catches that RV makes. They are beautiful.

Brent, I find your accessory carburetor knob interesting. Never have seen one of those.

Are these the coils with dimensions unique to the '13 boxes?

Yes, these coils are very similar in size to earlier coils.
The terminals are also located differently than later KW coils.

These coils only fit the 1913 KW coil boxes. For some reason, they seem to work more often than the later ones. Brent does the most beautiful job restoring these. I don't bother, because once in the box, you can't see them! I'm going to have to talk to Brent one day on how he does such a great job on the switch plates!

Goat gesso.

I have a friend working on the instructions. Don't know when they will be done.

I have a K-W master vibrator on the shelf with its original paper instructions under the lid. I can make that available if anyone wants to reproduce it.

I've just finished digitally restoring some 180 year old botanical drawings (along with translating many pages of French and Latin!) so should be able to manage some 100 year old instructions if someone wanted to send me a good photograph of them.

By a good photograph I mean one of reasonably high resolution, even illumination, with no shake and in focus. I can then clean and touch up as needed, and return an image that could be used for printing by anyone that needs it. After that it'd be up to you if you want to 'age' the result with yellow paper or stain it with old tea (or something worse , but at least you'd be able to start with something similar to how they'd have been when new...

UPDATE: Didn't see Mark's post until finishing mine, have sent a PM.

Luke, I will send an email to you with scans. This is my master vibrator.
