I found this inside my Colchester Student 1800 lathe while doing a refurb and conversion to 240V. Original hand-drawn wiring diagram.

Hi
Just about to try and convert my Student 1800,from 3 phase to single phase if you have any pointers to help would be much appreciated.
Hi how did your single phase conversion go? I’ve just been given a student 1800 and would love to get it running at home. I have a single phase 3kw inverter but wondered what you did with the rest of the switches etc.
Any help would be extremely grateful.
Thanks
Baz
Thankyou very much for posting this, I am doing the same thing.
So I am looking to use the original gearbox front mounted starter lever. Did you manage to incorporate a reverse?
I have a GEC 1.5 kW single phase motor which is a little small but it will suffice.
Cheers Mitch.
Thank you for forwarding this. I will update it to a more modern layout if anyone is interested.
Are there any differences in the schematic for the Master 1600 and the Triumph 2000?
No idea sorry. lathes.co.uk might have some info
