I've also had one of these from new (sometime in the mid '80's) Touch wood, it has always been reliable. I have seen a wiring diagram for these machines either on this site or linked from here. I did download it at the time, but can't find it now. It would be worth you spending a bit of time with the search tool on here to see if you can locate it.

Today I acquired a sign for the garage, and an old stainless tin which will do duty as a paint pot while I'm up on a ladder, courtesy of the local Charity Shop; and the Postman brought a new pressure tester, which I got a good deal on.

We use similar models. One for hose reels and one for testing dry risers.

This one is the TP 25 Model ( 0 > 25 Bar or 0 > 362 psi ) . I'm going to use it mainly for the plumbing installation in our project house.

Today I acquired...
A four post lift.
Whoop, whoop !
And a box of bits from some kind soul on here, but not had a chance to take photos yet.

His is a 2a indeed. A brilliant bargain with all that tooling and the vertical head!

Gold indeed.
I have a similar rotary table paid £120 for it. That Dickson tool post and holders is worth well over a ton if it's not a soft Chinese one. Collet chucks, face mill, vee block, digital height gauge and all the other bits would almost make it worthwhile without the milling machine.
That's a nice haul.

Twas only a 4 hour round trip, but worth it. 
The QCTP I think is a Bison tool post, all the other copies seem to have either round or rounded off edges to the piston, 4 no name holders, 4 of the holders are Bison 4494/6-48 (T00). The Jacobs rubberflex I couldn't find the nose for the chuck, so will have to make one. Most of the cutters are new as well.
Oh and the mill appears to be in VGC for it's age
