Thread: Myford ML7 motor wiring

Hi Les,

I have sent you the switch photos.

I wiped the internal end of all the contacts and around the tufnol plates, they are sprung together did not see how. It all works fine now.

Thanks Les.

Hi Les,

I went back to the motor and found one of the black cables should have been S and not U2. As labeled in the terminal box.

Then following your connections it all worked. Forward and Reverse, wonderful .

Thank you Les.

I'll send the photos tomorrow when I will be able to reduce their size.

Hi Les,

Thanks for the list of connections, I hope to try them later today.

I do have some photos, only one of them is in focus. I will reduce them and put them on the post.

Hi Les

The contacts A-3 had an intermittent connection.

I took the switch apart and the connection between A & 3 is now good.

Hi Les.

I live in Dorchester, Dorset.

A long way from some of the model shows I'd like to visit.

Hi Les.

I could take the switch apart but I would like to know what to expect.

If I open it and lots of bits fly out I wont be able to use the lathe at all., I've not seen any pics on line so I might have to get a new switch. I'll give it some thought.

Thanks Les.

Hi Les.

C - 3 when the switch is in reverse.

In the diagram showing the connections that run in forward and reverse, in both cases the switch is in the forward position.

Hi Les.

I will check the switch position tonight.

The link in the photo is below, in line with terminal 1 looking from the back of the switch and is not marked.

Hi Les,

Thanks for all your help.

3 is connected to C when the switch is in reverse.

Hi Les,

The switch is 3 position.

It is probably the original switch the lathe is on a Myford industrial stand.

The switch position is something I worked out.

I'll check position 3 tonight.

Hi Les,

Thanks for the info.

I have converted them to .JPG but still can't load them.

I will try Dropbox when I get home tonight.

Hi Guys

I have a similar problem.

I can't get the Stanton switch to switch forward/reverse from the Brooke Crompton motor.

On my Super 7

The switch has different connections to that shown in the manual.

LH from the top, rear view

C B 1

RH

3 2 A

I have drawings on PDF but can't attach them.

Without them the above wont mean a lot.

How do I attach them?

Thanks

Ian
