Long time listener, first time caller.
I took ownership of a Hendey Tool and Gage Makers Lathe yesterday, SN 38246H1228
It was not under power, so I could not test the drive - I’m told it was running, but has been sitting unused for a few years. inspection showed this to be in great condition, some wear to the bed and a few worn gears in the thread/feed box along with a shredded up feed box pulley. Spindle shows no movement on my .0005” indicator. Some light surface rust here and there. Motor/drive is MG type made by Reliance - with one tube (GE 3C) on the generator side. All wiring looks present and in good condition, but electrics are not my forte..
Included: drawtube/mostly full set of 6h collets with wooden box, knockout rod, three and four jaw chucks (Union mfg) taper attachment (missing a couple pieces).
The TA is missing the sliding block (AHLQ 200) and extension binder handle stud and handle (AHLQ 213,214). Shot in the dark, but anyone have a lead on a possible replacement? Assuming making the sliding block would require either grinding or scraping to fit the swivel slide?
*Activates the Hendeyman signal* - hoping you can provide some info on this machine and some drawings for the TA parts.
I’ll upload some photos when I get a chance, thought I’d get the ball rolling here first.
