Vision-all wiper unit

[yachtflame]

I’m looking for a cylindrical Vision-all vacuum wiper motor that was used on late 1920’s and early 1930’s GM vehicles.

There must be some one here that has a Visionall unit that they aren’t using. Maybe one in parts....Anything??

If so, please contact me at

yachtflame@yahoo.com or call me at 413-658-4416

 

Thanks,

Wayne,

  I have this long one mainly for Cadillacs,it's 46 7/8" long over the mounting brackets. There is a shorter one and I may have one around here somewhere but didn't see it. This one has surface rust,no major rust issues that I can see,what may be missing besides wipers and arms is unknown. Working condition unknown. I would take $225 for it shipping included. PM me if interested.

Capt. Wayne, if you have not yet contacted Paul Ayers, I would suggest doing so.   -   Carl

Thanks for reminding me about Paul.

Not been able to find any information out there on the Vision-all system.  Was this system made by Anderson, Trico, or Delco?  I haven't pulled it down, but I guess I am still not fully understanding how it works.  Does the vacuum turn the motor or is it more like an air cylinder? My 1930 Cadillac V-8 sedan has this system but it isn't working.  Does anyone know of a source for a rebuild kit?  Curious what anyone might know about it.

David,

  The Visionall unit was made by Trico. It works on vacuum pulling the inner cylinder from one side to the other, then back. With the valve control on the dash, you can move one or both wipers. PauL Ayers makes rebuild kits for the unit. I don’t have his info at my fingertip at this moment but you can PM me and I’ll look up his contact info.

 If you prefer, I could rebuild it for you as I’ve done a couple in the past and am doing one now.

Any luck, Wayne ? And have you been able to get off the beach yet ?    -   Carl

Steve,

 

Please let me know if you still have the Visionall available for sale or another Visionall that may be for sale.  I have a 1931 Packard 833 (Standard Eight) and she is missing her Visionall wiper.  The Packards have the mounting turned 90 degrees from what you have pictured as they mount on the underside of the visor with the bolts upside down and vertical.  I was able to locate the mounting brackets I need, so I may need to modify whatever I can find to work for my application.  A fellow Packard Club member has a similar car to mine and I believe his Visionall is correct; it measures 45.5" inches when measuring the sheet metal outer housing that is sandwiched between the mounting brackets.   Please give me a call so we can discuss.  My phone is 865.686.2001 and my email is johnltrotter@bellsouth.net.  Also, if anyone else on here has a line on a Visionall that might work for me and is available for sale, I would appreciate you contacting me please.  I'm fairly certain that the unit Wayne was asking about last fall will be shorter than what you have as the GM vehicles were a bit smaller than the Caddys and Packards, so I'm hoping this doesn't come off as hi-jacking Wayne's thread.

 

Best regards,

 

John

     Wayne;

 

     Back in 1967 I owned and drove a 1931 Cadillac sedan. As I recall the wipers worked like a "Yankee Screwdriver" They worked very well, the wiper blade carriers traveled down their groove one  way and back on the other grove. The driving shaft only had to turn one direction, the back and forth was accomplished elegantly  by the Yankee Screwdriver shaft.  Is this the type that is being discussed here?   Jim43

John,

I sent one to Wayne back when and it looks like I'll be able to help you out,that pretty much clears me out of Visionalls.
