As in the title, i am considering buying this lathe if the price drops. If anyone has any first hand ( or some other number ) info on the lathe it would be greatly appreciated. Like bearings type, speeds and such... It is mussing compound though.

Many thanks,

no there is nothing specific, the closest I have come is a Caser maker, but that seams to be slightly different type what is described.

If the missing parts cant be found and present ,then forget it ,unless its free .........I think the compound and toolpost may have been salvaged because the lathe has a serious fault ,one not worth fixing.

I dont think I could find the compound for that exact type of lathe. The only thing I am considering is adapting a compound of another similar sized lathe.
