    Cutaway of a pratt and whittney JT8D turbofan engine.

    The JT8D was a hugely popular jet engine produced by pratt and whittney, it powered pretty well known jetliners like the boeing 727 and early 737 models. As well as (I belive) the douglas dc9 and mad dogs.

    This was at the national museum of the usaf in dayton ohio

    Starting a restoration project on this cash register (its a national 442x model)its jammed and it has been some time wide open. So the main focus for now is cleaning and unjamming. Would love some tips or tricks to make him alive again.

    my dad bought it some time ago, took off the chasis and left it there for arround 8 years wide open, so its sticky inside, ive readed that it has to be with 3 on 1 grease and its better to use alcohol in a spraybottle. I will gladly enter on more detail on a md or in a more specialized subreddit.
