Long bed Myford Super 7B with industrial stand for restoration - stock code 9860

A long bed Myford Super 7B lathe, complete with industrial stand housing coolant tank and pump, along with motor switch gear.

Used for modelling - mainly locomotives - in recent years it's fallen on hard times, not helped by a period stored outside under a tarpaulin.

Devoid of any tooling and missing its chuck and motor, the bed has light rust at the far end, better near the spindle where it was well-coated with oil. Condition underneath looks good, the saddle moves smoothly.

Top slide and cross slide handles are both fitted with indexable collars, both rusty although can be turned and would clean up.

Saddle is fitted with a four way quick-detach Myford-Dickson type toolpost and thread dial indicator. Spindle is belt driven, with countershaft clutch.
