Hello all.
I am likely to be going to by a Myford Super 7 shortly. It is in a very average condition, it's lead a hard life and it shows it. Everything generally seems to be "OK" with it, but a lot of TLC would do it no harm at all. The price it's being offered at reflects that time needed.
I'm thinking that I will completely strip it down and do a re-build, and maybe add some of the million and one gadgets that have been produced over the years for the Myford along the way.
For lathes the the Mini-lathe, and the C3, there are extensive build logs all over the net about how people have done stripdowns and rebuilds, for example Steve Beldair, but I can't find much for a Myford, which is strange, as they're probably the most common lathes used, certianly in the UK, with the exception of the Mini-lathe.
I was wondering if anyone had a good write up, or set of articles, tucked away in their bookmarks that they would be willing to post up here?
