Progress

Didn't get any chance to work on these beauties for a while as I've been away on work. Anyhow, yesterday and today, I wired up some nice 4 core plus earth to Lathe number two.

The switch box I scrounged has also been wired up, so this enables switched motor control rather than using the mains plug as before. I contacted Santon and they said the switch I have is very old, and they also dont usually supply switch component parts, so I just used the switch as a simple ON/OFF switch, hardwired at the motor for forward. If someone wants, they could use the 4 core plus earth wire I provided and get a 4 pole centre off switch to get both forward and reverse.
There look to be some compatible Santon switches on Ebay at the minute:

I wondered about buying them but If I am just going to sell there is little point. Soemone has already bid with 5 days at £9 and as it says Myford in the title will probably go for £100 or something silly like that.
