I was worried about my slip ring on my drag so I put one in that will handle 10 amp per circuit. Now I know my current draw for the whole machine while under a load: (1.5 amp @90VDC)
I could replace it with another twin that I have that has more circuits. With more circuits I can eliminate my radio all together and hard wire the machine to my master switches from the 1:1 machine.

My slip ring had a sticker on it that said "2 amps" but didn't say anything about at what voltage. I got it off ebay from someone catering to the home windmill power generation folks, whatever voltage windmills put out. If it doesn't work I have a bit of room to replace it with something bigger.

Latest progress is the swing circle. All that's left on it is to get the shaper running and cut gear teeth.





I was very happy with how everything bolted together. The swing circle locates the slip ring mount and both bolt to the carbody and it worked! Rotary tables are neat.



I decided to get started on track rollers. Had time for two tonight.
