OK Brad, 'our' John isn't a fairy Godmother and you will find me a bloody sight older and uglier. I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne if that helps.
Years ago-bugger, I'm 77- I had a Pools lathe which would only turn bananas. I got loads of help from people that I didn't know. Some where professionals giving up what little time they had.
In MEW, I returned the help by writing up how I' restored' a friend's ML7. It cost a mere £35.and was capable of a 1/2 thou run out at 6" in a week.
Hi Norm, would you happen to remember which issue of MEW your article was in by any chance? It would be very interesting to see if I could get a back copy (if possible). Cheers Brad.
People will rally round. As others have said- Don't despair but don't expect miracles. Our John is a grumpy old b. but he took time off at the Harrogate Show to sort a few of my problems. I got the help- John didn't even get a drink till the Show closed. 'Nuff, John?
Norm No, It wasn't going to
