I only tried putting the back gear handle up and it resulted in the belt slipping without anything turning. For instance, there is a back gear handle and a tumbler reverse lever. Is that a problem or an easy fix?Īlso, I can't find a general instruction for basic operation so I'm not sure if all the features work. 80-.85 when I turn the lead screw handle. There are a few things I would also appreciate help with that I haven't found online. **LINK** It is the only milled surface on the rear bed. Just to be clear, as my lathe terminology is not fully developed, is the vertical shear this part? My 1957 ML7 has the number in the place Robbo describes above at the tailstock end of the bed. The front left location (near the rack) is on later lathes. It is not deeply marked so you need to look closely! It will be SK followed by a number, probably 4 digits. On a lathe of that age the number will be at the tailstock end of the bed on the back of the rear shear, ie the narrow flat vertical that has been machined. I'd rather not pick up one that is pre '58 and is no longer supported with spares. Perhaps someone here could either suggest another place to look or another way to narrow down the production year. I looked in the two locations that I've seen suggested on various posts, but there's nothing on the front left bed nor in the back near the headstock ( although the location description is vage on the latter, no sign of it anywhere on the rear) It has the old oil - pre wick on the headstock, so I know it's pre '59 but when I went to have a look at it, I couldn't see a serial on the bed anywhere.
I'm considering an old Mk1 Super 7 that is on sale and I wanted to have a better idea about the age of it before I commit.
