I have recently come into possession of an 'antique' LP High Speed Precision lathe, model LP (Variable Speed). It was built in the mid '60s and, it seems, is very rare, with only a handful ever imported into the US.
It is, however, going to need a great deal of TLC to bring it back to it's former glory, so I'm reaching out to members to get whatever information I can on this beast. I have the Operator's Guide, but am looking for the parts manual (which I am told has exploded diagrams of the entire machine) as well as any sketches/drawings of the carriage stops (which are missing).
I am also looking for any attachments (taper turning, fixed and travelling steadies, etc.) as well as any service parts that may be gathering dust in the back of someone's workshop.
If anyone out there can help me, I would be most grateful!
As the recommissioning project advances, I'll post pictures if anyone is interested.
Thanks! Chris
