Myford ML7 - PS8 Steam

Stripped lathe down to the bed, but left gearbox in place.  General clean up, but nothing looks too bad.   Moved the stand into the workshop and fixed the lathe to the stand-off blocks, onto the drip tray, and then on to the stand.  It still needs leveling, but I will wait until I have added a little more weight. Ordered the three phase motor and VFD which ought to arrive this week.

After a long break I have been returning the ML7 back to working order.  Everything back in place and the new 3-phase motor fitted together with it's VFD.   This coming weekend should be the final alignment of the lathe.   It's probably all over the place at present, but this shouldn't reveal any nasty surprises.
