awemawson:
Do you not have a date label inside the left hand front hydraulic cabinet below the headstock? Slide lathe cover closed to expose the door.

JeffK:
Hi Andrew
Had a look inside the cabinet - there was a plate with just a machine serial no. of 50164 but no date. The main ID plate is on the outside above this cabinet door but the sliding door has been rubbing on it and worn most of the numbers off it. You can just make out a few letters but nothing that makes sense.
Not sure if this serial number is before or after yours?
cheers

My s/n is 50255 so  91 machines after yours, so yours must be a generation one machine ! Odd with a Baruffaldi turret fitted, as I understood that they bought in the Baruffaldi ones as a cost cutting bean counter exercise as the banks started squeezing them.

JeffK:
Managed to cut my first bit of nylon stock today....  :clap:then as the machine got to centre on constant surface speed it tripped the 64A breaker on the distribution board from my generator (surely shouldn't have drawn that much current with speed capped at 1000 rpm and a 1mm facing cut on nylon?). All went quiet and when I fired it back up again something tripped to give me the dreaded EMG with no indication of what is wrong. I guess I'll start searching prodding and poking again tomorrow. Any ideas would be welcome - either on the current draw or the software emergency stop. :doh:

cheers

Jeff

mc:
What type of breaker is it?

I can never remember the types, but some can give false trips when powering switched mode supplies (aka Inverters/VFDs).
