Just recently got hold of an older Emco V10 lathe - it's missing a few parts like the chuck and backplate, for me it looks like these use a custom backing plate with some kind of "lock ring" - is there any source for backplates like this, eventually anything else one can do to not having to use this clampring ?.
Also there seem to be a problem with moving the gears in the gearbox, they look just fine, and is rotating fine, but seem like they kinda sits "locked" on the spindle they are attatched to - I post some pictures of the gears, tried to move them while gently rotating the spindle back/forth to no avail.
Also is the 125mm chuck the biggest chuck this can take ?.
Any tips on good alternative chucks appreciated
It's also missing the "clamp ring" that holds down the top slide (it's broken in two which I think is a weakness of these lathes...)
so any tips on sources for something like this, or alternative to fix the top slide....
