I dunno who made it, but the only upgrade I can think of is sending it to the scrap yard...
Mikael, it might help if you gave us your location. Most folks here know American and British manufacturers well, less so for the rest of the world.
Well, it WAS a survivor. It now may be scrap.
Or maybe not - it may be a challenge - that is all.
At one point I bought a Fay & Scott flat belt conehead woodworking lathe for small money. The reason the money was small was the foot was broken off of one of the legs leaving one leg perhaps 6" short - the former owner had operated it for YEARS with a cement block under the missing leg.
Hmm, thinks I "This could be repaired with steel plate and some brazing/grinding." Which I did. Got to try out the new Sears Oxyacetylene torch for cutting plate and later doing the braze.
Not generally known, braze frequently exceeds the strength of the cast iron to which it is attached to - and it gives the brazier a fair amount of "build up - melt down" capability for fairing braze fill between sections. It grinds considerably easier than most cast iron nickel welding rod and is certainly more forgiving on formation of shrink cracks.
By the time the Fay & Scott was done and painted, one would not know it had been repaired. I sold it without mention of the repair for about 3x what I had in it. Slightly larger small money than I paid but I was confident the buyer had gotten value from his purchase.
Good luck on bringing this back. Yes, we would be interested in your success story, if one is to be had.
