Myford paint colour

Most of the ML7s that I have seen have had the Myford lettering picked out in red. I have also seen a couple with white lettering.

As I am repainting my lathe, I may as well get the lettering colour correct, so is it white or red?

This is for the standard grey ML7.

Thanks,

Andrew.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but mine is an original 1960's ML7 that's not had any work and it's grey.

On my early 60s original condition one the lettering is red.

[Steven VineParticipant @stevenvine79904]

1957 Red.

1973 – Red

[Curtis RutterParticipant @curtisrutter61973]

I stand corrected, just went to the workshop….it's red

I am immensely encouraged by your post – I quite often go out to the workshop ( about 20 metres) for something and, by the time I get there, I've forgotten what it was I wanted!

A bit like when you dash upstairs for something and forget why!

By the time I remember, it's too late. Happens more and more as I get older, nuisance really, I keep running out of underwear.

Anyway my 1972 ML7 has red lettering, probably the best bit of paint on it these days!

My '76 S7B is grey with the lettering on the belt guard and the front of the headstock in cream.

You can dash upstairs?

[RobboParticipant @robbo]

My early ML7s had red lettering, then early Super 7s had cream lettering.

Lol. Priceless.

[ASFParticipant @asf]

I painted my lettering yellow. It has made no difference to its functionality

Not at the moment. I've got a poorly leg and can barely get up and down the stairs at all

I have just ordered one of those high speed chair lifts so I get upstairs before I forget what I've gone for!

So you haven't seen Gremlins then?
