Got this lathe and tore it down. It was filthy with water-based coolant residue that coated everything with a sort of varnish.
Once I got to it, three weeks later it's cleaned, castings blasted and painted, bolts wire-wheeled, holes retapped, and now it's mostly assembled with new felt, and a few bearings, with controls yet to go...
...but oops!
I broke one of the gearbox tumbler arms pressing the pin into a new bearing. So I'm stuck. If anybody has one around, I'm in need.
It came with a turret I don't need and want to sell.
I'm also looking for a forward/reverse switch cover plate, a 4-jaw chuck and faceplate in addition to the tumbler arm. Please PM me and let me know.
Thanks,
Mark
