    Hi Geoff Sorry for not replying earlier but I have been away in Padstow for a few days. It looks like you have quite a bit of kit there I have a Warco that I have converted with ball screws and steppers and also a Myford converted to cnc. You certainly seem to have the skills if you can make parts like those of the engine.

    I take it you are a ham I did mine in 1965 but did not do the morse till another 20 years hence the G0HHR

    Hello Geoff,sorry about the delay in coming back to you. I sent you an email, and hopefully you have got it. Were you a radio ham earlier on in life? I have given up my radio comms, as I really only used it when I was in the forces, as it gave me a lot of flexibility, and I used to design and build big amplifiers.

    I am right in the middle of getting a new 3 phase motor and controller for my old Myford ML7. I see you have a good selection of machines in your workshop, which gives you the ability to tackle some interesting constructions.
