John Polhemus Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 If you haven't heard, Ernie Mellon who designed and built the Eclipse passed away August 31, 2015. To assist those of who have one, I've started a support forum (eclipsescrollsaw.tk). You'll find an electrical diagram, parts list and other useful Eclipse information there. I also plan on making maintenance and repair videos in the near future. It is not intended to be another Scroll Saw Forum for general use by scrollers. It's purpose is to keep our Eclipse scroll saws alive. Thanks, John Polhemus amazingkevin, OCtoolguy and Scrolling Steve 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Thanks John. I know of one fellow in our scrollsaw club that has an Eclipse. I'll pass this information along to him at the next meeting. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Not familiar with the Eclipse. But quite a noble gesture on your part. Hats off to you. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Michael Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi John, is your site still active? I've decided to sell my Eclipse scroll saw, used very lightly for a couple of months back when new. Great design. So, I'm looking for an audience who would appreciate it. Thanks, Mike Ward Scrappile and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Engwer Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 John, I bought an Eclipse saw in 2003, S\N 84. The belt broke. I would like to buy a belt and 2 seals and a light bulb. I would appreciate any advice you could give me on replacing the belt. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked, and John has not been on this forum since early August, 2019 so almost 2 1/2 years ago unfortunately. You might check the Village’s Resources section, Scrollsaw Review Section which has the Eclipse saw and several documents on it stored there. One of them is a document on belt replacement it looks like. Make sure you also review then comment section there to glean the information that has been shared there. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/scroll-saw-reviews/eclipse-r50/?tab=comments There is a Facebook group listed in the comments, I just checked it, and it seems to still be available with some activity by other owners. Probably worth checking out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/EclipseScrollSaw/ Also, Judy Gale Roberts at Intarsia.com has an Eclipse saw I believe still in her classroom shop. She clay be able to give you some more information. You can find her contact information on her website here. https://intarsia.com/pages/studio-tour There are also some other members here in the Village familiar with this saw. I think @Puzzleguy has one. Edited January 13, 2022 by meflick John B and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
