Sorry i have been hard at work but thanks to all for the reply's and your help.
At present i have been unable to do much more until now but i am now getting back into it with the info i have received.

I have managed to probe 2 of the wires coming out of the stands motor wiring and have 240v on 2 wires and now have the original Myford pump running. I pre purchased a NVR switch a week ago as i thought i might not be able to wire it to the stand with the standard setup, but as it is at present i am still interested in what and how it has been wired, and if i can rewire it as it is, so we will see what happens..

Hi all and thanks for getting back to me..

This may help..

The Myford Super7B i purchased on eBay

Link is here **LINK**

It was supplied with a single phase Crompton 3/4hp motor as can be seen.. but having collected it it appears that it has only been wired up straight to mains with a 13amp cable and bypassing the stand all together.

i have the original myford book and the super 7 book but it does not appear to show any wiring from this type of stands swithgear... unless im reading it incorrectly.

I was not aware the myford industrial stand was wired for 3 phase.. clack of knowledge i guess but stands to reason it would be i suppose, and maybe as the motor was bypassed with a 13amp lead.. ? hmmm

I spoke with another chap who seemed to think that my wiring was single phase and i just needed the diagram, maybe he has made a mistake.. i dont know.... ?

It came with a diagram with what the original owner (who has unfortunately passed away) must of received when he purchased the lathe originally. but it is incorrect as when i have wired it by this to the 4 poles of my motor it just blew the 13amp fuse... Im was also told by the people who sold me it just afterwards that the info is incorrect... hence im stuck at present.

any help very welcomed.

Phil i have sent you an email

many thanks
