Gentle persons:

This is a long shot, but your collective knowledge seems inexhaustible.

A long-time (ca. 35 years and counting) friend has gone and bought 
himself a Gorton MasterMil 1-22 vertical mill that he estimates was 
manufactured in the 1960s. He tells me it's in very good mechanical 
condition (but he's on the wrong coast so I've seen only pictures). He's 
already making parts with it manually. I hope to convince him to 
consider at least a 2-axis CNC conversion using EMC2 once he gets 
settled with it, but he's determined to restore its original powerfeed 
first.

The "infinitely variable" powerfeed on this beast was an 
option-at-purchase called Dyna Drive that for his model is vacuum 
tube-driven. The electronics appear to be kaput. Web searches have 
coughed up scans of the operator, technical, and parts manuals for this 
model mill, but he has been luckless so far in finding any technical 
details about the optional Dyna Drive.

If anyone has any hints, please email me directly so we don't clog up 
the list.

Thanks in advance,
Kent
