Hello there.
Allow me to introduce myself and my recent find - Hendey 12X5 S/N 13712.
I am in my 50s originally from republic of Belarus, now live in Canada. Use to work in metalworking shop with lathes, mills and other stuff, then educated myself in CNC and , thus, transitioned to the computer world. Metalworking remains my first love .
Week ago I found this beauty in the local ad board and decided that I can't let it go to scrap.
So I bought it and brought home (which was quite difficult). I am going to restore and use it. Lathe seems to be without any significant parts missing or being broken, though covered with grime and rust and moss.
I am hoping to have community help in disassembling, first, and then in proper assembling, tuning and use. Canadian winters- Winter is coming (c) - are not very comfortable to work outside or in the cold garage ( and basement is occupied with kids ), so I am prepared to rather slow progress will spend few seasons on this project - bear with me people.
My first question to the community - can it be looked into registrar for year, other details, and ,maybe, previous owner(s) of this S/N - 13712.
Many thanks
Gene.
