Thank you Julian and Brian for your feed back. I have checked the water gauge openings and length before, all ok. Good point about bush might be to long into 1/4" water space. Difficult to correct.

Thanks Les and Mark.

Your right Mark, it is a Smiths Tach. and is original equipment on the lathe. Good point about swarf, I'll have a look.

And I'll have alook at Yahoo Boxford group.

Thanks for the reply.

Boiler is quite old now this has been a problem from the beginning. Perhaps bubbles is not a good way to describe this. More like small air slugs that don't move. Our local water is very soft. It's always a concern not knowing the true water level. I've been wondering about adding a water column to see if that helps.

Hi Paul, I too have been trying to track down drawings for PV Baker, with the idea of selling what I have. I accquired a running chassis from an estate,. Very unlikely I will do anything more with it. Too many more interesting projects on the go.

Looking for suggestions how to repair, or know where I can get electrical drawings of the tachometer system on my Boxford 9" variable speed lathe.

Problem is, tach reads max RPM all the time when lathe is running. Mechanical speed control works fine.

3 1/2" ga Rob Roy

Any suggestions why I get a lot of bubbles in the water gauge when steaming?

Frequent blowing down the gauge only helps for a short time. Makes it difficult to know where water level is.
