As a Newbee Im not sure if this is the right area to post this...so please let me know if there is a more appropriate spot.
I picked up my first lathe yesterday and as you can see it is pretty grubby.

The rubber edge seal around the top of the cabinet is just sticky gunge

The switch box will need a good clean. As this machine is a 3Ph 2 speed Dahlander wound motor I am yet to work out a solution to get it running on 240V with VFD. May need to totally rehash the switch box with guidance from profesional people

I intend to start from the ground up on this old girl.... and no doubt will need advise on various aspects of the build.
Thanks
