Good morning guys,well yesterday my next project arrived with a rotary phase converter.Dang what a package,which this is the first time I have ever seen a lathe like this it seems very HD.I went throught afew pages here in this section wanting to read up other members post who have gone throught a restoration project.For me I believe that this is just a take apart,do a cleaning and painting then put it back together and run it.I did find a manual here in this section up above which I printed to give me some direction.Sadly this is not my lathe but I sure wish it was cause I envision it turning out fantastic.Guys what makes me alittle nervous is the extent of the electrical,I guess this beast is variable speed?I will have to find a manual that tells ya how to operate this lathe cause its more advance than anything that I done in the past.If you have any kind of information or any links to Utubes or post or just a comment please let me know.Guessing this is a 1972 lathe??? Thanks guys for some direction----kroll
