Hi,
Thanks Gary; once this Lorch is fully restored I think I'll make a decent cover for it to keep it clean.
You could always keep your Coral Draw and A3 printer Gary so why not spoil yourself and buy a lathe? My four lathes are a joy to own and use; I would never be without a couple of lathes because they are so therapeutic to use and very useful. Since David restored his Lorch watchmakers lathe he is using it more and more for turning small components.
I'm currently negotiating over a new Brook Motors Gryphon motor this being 3/4hp and single phase 4 pole; if I don't get it at my maximum price then I'll possibly go the VFD route and install a 3 phase motor. It's strange now to be chasing a Gryphon motor because whilst working at Brooks I handled many thousands of these thinking little of it.
I can't get into the garage today until this afternoon but hopefully I'll be able to spend more time on this restoration over the next few days.
Kind regards, Col.

Happiness is a wreck of a cabinet to restore.
