Getting hasle with photobucket at the Mo: but will try again later with pics.. Need MORE help thou. Thanks for the wiring diagram Rob, BUT! it is different to the motor on my machine: The diag shows the running windings as : A to block 7 and what looks like A2 or AZ to block 5 Starter windings T to block 8 and z or 2 to block 6... the motor in my lathe looks like a new-ish one painted black with out name plate the terminals are T2 and t3...A1 and A2. it has internal wires 2 black and one red. T2 and T3 have the black wires and A1 has the red wire.. Can anybody help please? Lyn. |

Ok so nobody can say which is whic wire/terminal so does anyone no what will happen if i get the the wrong way around? Lyn. |

If the motor is the original one, the Myford Super 7 Manual is on the net. This answer hopefully answers the supplementary question of other features. For the many other answers about Super 7's, I would strongly suggest that you invest in George Thomas's books and the one by Jack Radford. If you want to push a little further, then Martin Cleeve will be excellent reading. All of these authors had Myfords and consequently you can get designs for accessories etc for your machine -without having to scales or modify. If your motor isn't 'original' then I'd suggest that you get Tubal Cain's Model Engineer's Pocket Book which does contain other wiring diagrams- along with other 'advice' I hope that you will enjoy your new machine Norman |

Thank you for your reply Fergus, i will look into the books on your list..All this is new to me i bought my 9x20 to ( have a go ) learn on 10 months ago, not done much bar make loads of scrap from the Ali i bought then i happened upon the S7 from a mate...So shed is now remodeled and i have the stand in place and the lathe on the Bike table ready for the BIG lift across. Well! when i can find out how to wire it. Regards. Lyn. |

Hi Lyn, Actually I had a 920 ( or strictly a 9180 with a Myford spindle) and know quite a lot about your previous lathe. I found the 920 a bit too awkward on lots of counts and bought what you could call a 'basket case' of a S7B and had it slideways ground etc at a local firm up here in County Durham and am more than satisfied. Actually, I had had a number of Super 7's and ML7's before this and sort of moved quite a lot of 'homemade tooling' onto the 'new' lathe. The nice thing about the suggested books is that Thomas especially does a step by step set of instructions for many of his tools. I confess that Bill Bennett who edited the Model Engineers Workshop Manual is an old friend of both my wife and myself but so what? Once you have got 'wired up' and the wheels turning, I would suggest that you make up the rear parting tool. Kits are from Hemingway( merely a satisfied customer) and all this parting off headaches stuff disappears and you have also learned a lot about machining in the process. I've wandered :offtopic: but I felt that it might be useful to you. Cheers Norman |
