I recently acquired a 12X30 Hendey Lathe 1940’s ( serial number 33029) I think. This old girl needs quite a bit of cleanup and probably some restoration to bring it into service. The tailstock was locked up solid but I managed to remove the handle, and the screw and get the cylinder out. However the mechanism that locks the tailstock in position doesn’t seem to be functioning properly and I need to get it apart. It’s not clear to me how to disassemble this. Can anyone give me some advice?
