Did a bit of a refurb on the ML7 I was given.
Totally dismantled and repainted. Replaced the belts, checked the bearing clearances, polished and adjusted the gib strips, aligned the headstock and tailstock and checked the bed wear. I left the nice patina on the exposed steel parts. It's now a nice little runner for a 70 year old.
They seem to fetch silly money on Ebay so it will probably go on there. I know you can't have too many lathes but I have a Super Seven with a DRO, VFD and all the toys and no more room for anything else.
