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.

Ian.

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.

Ian

Hi Les, Thanks for the information. I will re check the terminals this afternoon.

Hi Les.

Not a problem, I'll find away round it.

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.

No more just the 7

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.

Ian.

Hi Les,

Thanks for all your help.

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

Ian.

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.

As you can see the photos are on the forum,

thanks to a friend who came into the office.

Ian.

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

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
