Did you ever start thinking out a design, possible implementation, for having a go at making a remote oil filter adaptor plate?

What lathe did you get, btw?

Matt i may know of a Myford ML10

Any chance you might be able to find out if they are indeed selling and a price and info if so?

Lovely machines are those.

Cheers Ian.

Cheers. The ML7 is the 10's older, bigger brother, isn't it?

Just Google'd that Drummond. They're sexy looking machines.

I already have researched them out to a degree. I was drooling over the pics of some Myford's within the last few weeks. (I'm not a complete and utter saddo. Honest).

Cheers again Ian. I'll await your update.

Ahhhh lathes...

Matt, no, not yet. Currently making log periodic antennas from my shed

We pay over a grand for 200MHz-1GHz. I can build for ~£30 and a few hours work.

I spent hours on a Myford super 7 when i first started work back in god knows when....
we made temerature probes and we used to polish the stainless by sticking it in the lathe, bung the lath in top gear and hold emery cloth to it....
cannot remember how many times i forgot to lock the tail stock and the tube shot across the workshop knackering the probe in the process......

Just like this one..... but no where near as clean....

So, what lathe did you get then?

Top idea on building the aerials, btw. I know it will be top class gear your lot buy, but that much for a log? By Christ, that's shocking. Are they made out of gold or something?

That's unnaturally clean. A restored unit?
