Rich mentioned Newton-Tesla in his "Real Bridgeport or Warco" thread and I thought I should give my appreciation of this firm. I have just awoken my Super 7 from 30 years slumber (I have been working abroad) and knowing that the motor was damaged decided to go for the deluxe option and replace it with a 3 phase motor with inverter control. I looked at N-T's web site but was a bit confused as there is an excellent section on their ML series of controls but no mention of the newer CL range.
On Monday I rang them up and was immediately put through to someone who really knew what he was talking about! He apologized for the CL not being on the web saying that the section had been written but not yet uploaded. We discussed my needs and he said that as it was a S7 then it needed a resilient mount motor so that the cable entry could turned to a suitable position and advised the cheaper CL750 (1.0HP) unit which is cheaper that the ML550 (0.75HP) unit so one gets more power for less money, in fact probably more power that one would ever need for S7.
I gave him my credit card details and he said "we will get the unit to you tomorrow" and true to his word the unit turned on Tuesday afternoon!
It was really refreshing to talk to knowledgeable people who really meet their promises.
Regards
Brian
PS How tall is a Bridgeport? (my garage ceiling is only 2.4m high).
