Whilst not directly related, there is an ornamental turner’s society I remember seeing the stand at ME Exhibitions.

PersonallyI found it very interesting watching the process.

Link here to their society website.

Parvalux still exist (Bournemouth I think) and I found them very helpful people whilst I was still working, there is a lot of information on their website as well.

Might be worth a phone call?

www.parvalux.com.

I have just remembered that some Parvalux motors had what looked like ordinary mains leads but contained extra cores to connect a remote capacitor.

I thought everyone knows that an Arbour is where boats/ships are moored.😉

On this mornings news it was stated that the lifespan of this material is about thirty years, that leaves many questions to be answered.

From personal experience with companies Citizens Advice would be worth contacting.

Ofgem is probably another one to be on the list of contacts.

Don’t custard plants grow alongside Spaghetti trees?

I guess only the slightly more aged amongst us (myself included) might understand that.

Seems possible from the media reports that mega loads of taxpayers money might go in as well.

Interesting to watch the extended term outcome.

For a few years my ML7 has been fitted with a pair of Adamslube of Coventry oilers of the type shown in the second picture on the linked page.

Oilers

They have proved very good for setting drip rate and whilst currently I am unable to use my shop they are left set to drip very occasionally.

My apologies to DiogenesII.

I spotted this pretty beastie on a climber near our front door last month and according to the identifier I think it’s a Scarlet Tiger.

It might be a good find in the South East  as normally in the South West & Wales apparently.

Link to a moth identifier here.

I think Grindstone Cowboy has it right.

Link to uk moth recording scheme here (if of interest).

I am not sure what the current situation is but the system as advised in our (former) clinic was:-

Replacement of lost or damaged NHS hearing aids £100 each.

Might just be worth checking out if it’s possible to apply that your original (melted) hearing aid as a temporary solution.

It may be worth seeing if there are any electric motor repairers / rewinders in your area and asking them.

Likewise.

The staff at our site patrol on a constant basis and make sure nothing goes the wrong way.

Thanks for the link Michael.

I am rather surprised that the bad guys have taken this long to start using AI.

I think that is rather too generalised because I am aware of my lathes history from new:

My ML7 is documented as being shipped from the factory to its original owner (not me) fitted with TRI-LEVA attachment, two speed motor, & QCGB. I do know that it has white metal bearings not bronze and the top speed has always tested around the stated (rarely used) 1280 rpm

Just for the record: an ML7 fitted with the TRI-LEVA attachment and original two speed motor had a maximum spindle speed of 1280 rpm.

Selenium plate rectifiers used to really stink when you fried them as well!
