Hi from warm sunny Dublin
As mentioned elsewhere I've been turning wood since the world was still flat, but only about two years with metal - Myford Super 7 (stuck on a gearbox and taper turning attachment etc).
Lately a buddy gave me a pressie of a Stringer EW lathe. Not actually bashed about, but lying in a workshop for millenia. Fine coating of rust and sawdust (he is also a woodturner).
Most of the parts were in two plastic buckets!
Since the snow has kept me from my workshop I (by prior arrangement with SWMBO) brought the poor little thing into the dining room and have started trying to bring it back to life.
The only information I can find is on lathes.co.uk - http://www.lathes.co.uk/ew/index.html - thanks Tony!
Have any of you good folks got one? - know anything about them - got photos ?
Any assistance gratefully received, and progress pics can be provided if anyone is interested.
Regards,
Ruaidhrí
