I use one from CRC called "QD Contact Cleaner". Regarding replacement pot/switch combinations you need to pay attention to the switch -- whether the original is normally-open or normally-closed.?

Yes there are several “numbers” but which numbers mater? If you have a generic 7x lathe then you can buy an exact replacement part from LMS. The 7X uses a pot that is slightly hard to find and LMS

I measured the motor speed as about 5000 RPM. I have it geared down to give a spindle speed of 2200 RPM. Tom

I got desperate for a wheel setup. So just cranked out a shaft. Kinda sloppy but it actually worked. Then for a wheel i found a baby stroller dumped in my back alley. And surprise , it had two nice

Hi Mike. I went with the Clough 42 controller system. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164781208092 It interfaces with a Texas Instruments board

I got a new Speedway mini lathe about 21 years ago. It's not perfect, but I have made several modifications to make it better. Perhaps the best one is the modification I made to he change gear
