Early .Myford ML7 Lathe

[Dave GilmourParticipant @davegilmour71002]

This lathe was my father’s a d he bought it new probaly not long after the war. The originso wiring was shot. I started to rewire it, but halfway through we .over house and all the diagrams wee lost.Does anyone have any info on this motor. It appears to be the motor that came with the lathe from new.
Hopefully some one will have come across it before.
I thought that it may have been manufactured either during the war or soon after.

Dave,

Unless you have some emotional attachment to that motor, I think it might be wise to start afresh.

However: This is [hopefully] the manufacturer's web-site **LINK**
