Unknown Live Tool / Spindle — nameplate unreadable. Ekstrom Carlson is only repairing this item.
**Detailed Visual Description**
The image shows a compact, rectangular live tool or spindle housing. A threaded shaft extends upward from the top center. A riveted metal nameplate sits on the front face but its marking is not legible in the photo. There is a small mounting lug with a clearance hole near the upper left. A circular access or service port is located on the right side. The housing shows light surface wear and handling marks. Fastener heads and a recessed hole are visible on the front face.
**Condition Notes for Repair Technicians**
The shaft threads look intact from the photo. The housing shows no obvious cracks or catastrophic damage. The nameplate must be read in person for exact make and part number. Internal inspection will be required to assess bearings, seals, and drive components.
**Why This Matters to You**
Knowing the exact model matters for parts and tolerances. We avoid guesswork until we physically read the nameplate or open the unit. This ensures proper spindle repair, rebuilding, and long-term reliability.
