I am not a member because I don't want to waste my time and money going to a place where the only machine I need to use it is not available. Another person was told he cannot use it because nobody wants to take the responsability of saying yes he knows enough about it, even when he said he wanted to train others so I didn't need to make the same offer just to receive the same answer, however it looks like from this list that some offerings for training are accepted or at least being seriously considered, which is very unfair and humiliating for the others who tried the same.
Ndlovu (aka) Dean was not derailing in his message, he was polite and explained perfectly what others are afraid of saying, and viewing that he is also threatened to be moderated confirms the dictatorship this place is under.

I don't do much woodwork - do we need this? Shall I let him throw it away? He's even kept the manual (from 1956), bless him. And some spare belts.

Had a bit of a peek at the lathe, needs a bit of TLC and a polish, the belt needs changing but one has been provided, no tools with it so we'll have to find a set of them somewhere if we want to use it, but it does come with the grinding and sanding wheel attachments which is very cool, also a ton of centre drills and what my amateur eye makes out to be metal turning bits?Thanks very much for dropping this down! Gonna enjoy myself digging into it!

this is exactly what we need, I'll double check and measure the belt to see if it is the correct length, otherwise we will need 2m which is £30

Would be good to put that on the wiki

a metalworking chuck will still work fine on a wood lathe, but yea a cheaper and probably better option is to get a woodturning chuck.

The rest of hte belt arrived, but I have been too sick to get to the space (stupid man flu), I will try and drop it off monday/tuesday

Thanks to everyone who worked on this. :)

Wow. Why even bother?
new motors from machine mart are only about 60 bucks....
They even sell stepped pulleys that match 'em
Unless its really hard to make the mounting?
Phoned up HM Electric Motors to ask about repairs, they said WORST CASE it could be £250 for a complete rewind, but they have no idea what the problem might be until we take it to them.Can we organize some transport? The things a big too heavy to be lugging down to the end of hackney road in a backpack. (N1 7RD)

Wait? It isn't an induction motor?
Its also going at half the speed it should and making a weird knocking sound, so we're thinking the wiring to one of the brushes has died.

The industrial Brother sewing machine motor is 1750rpm, so if anyone happens to come across a variable speed motor and controller for that…..
Don’t just nick it though.
