The Myford company started in 1934, was based here in Nottingham (Beston to be exact) and only closed it doors due to liquidation back in July 2011. The ML7 lathe was launched in August 1946, retailing at £34.00 excluding motor. Later replaced by the the Super 7 in April 1953 build around the same design but with number of new features and improvements. Both models have been very successful and often favoured by hobbyists and model engineers. The Hackspaces Super 7 has been dated to around January 1973.
