Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a 1934 16” x 7’ Series “O” apron lathe from a family friend. It was originally shipped to Newport, RI to the Naval Torpedo Yard. It then made its way to Southeast Texas and eventually to me. There is minimal wear in the ways and the bearings seem to be in pretty good shape. I am currently tearing down and rebuilding the saddle and apron, but have found a major show stopper. There are no clutch parts whatsoever and the worm gear, key, and it’s bushings are also missing. If anyone has these parts or can send me drawings of these parts I will greatly appreciate it.
I have already had conversations with Ted and look everyday on EBay.
Thanks in advance.
