Newall pin outs

You could try asking Newall:

I am trying to sort out a second hand Anilam Mini Wizard for my lath.

I have at present shortened a scale and fitted it to read the saddle travel on my triumph.

While trying to sort a cross slide scale I have come across the following information.

Anilam and Acu-Rite both make scales... though the scales are different they are both made by the same people.

There may be common wire codes.

the Mini Wizard uses a 6 pin plug with a quarter twist lock collar, modern scales use a 9 pin 'D' plug.

The information I have to make the adapter is as follows.....

Cannel --- 6 pin---colour---9 pin---colour. a---a---white---2---green/yellow b---b---green---4---pink/red

I will be trying to marry an old scale to the miniwizard later in the week. If it works electrically I will try to shorten it to fit the lath cross slide.

I hope this helps, and I will be following the thread looking for useful fallout :-)
