Hi all, I bought a heavy 10 a few months back to do a full restoration. I think it’s a 1961 or 1962 based on a website with serial number registration. The serial # is 12449 RKL 16. The Catalog # is CLC 8187 Z. As I have been going through it I discovered that the chip tray is bent in the area under the quick change box. I thought no big deal I can straighten that, but upon closer inspection, I noticed that when you lower the lever to change gears it comes within a 1/8” from hitting the chip tray. Soooo now I understand why it was bent down. This where the mystery starts. What is causing this to have an inference between the levers and chip tray?
• Was the lathe moved to different cabinet?
• A replacement gear box was installed?
• Are there suppose to be some small risers between the chip tray and lathe that were lost?
I looked for documentation showing when SB changed the cabinet designs from year to year, but couldn’t find any. If anyone has this knowledge let us all know :-)
A lot of guessing has been going on in my mind, but now I’m looking for some definitive answers.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks in advance for your help!
