Hello crew; I hope everyone is well.
I'm plugging away slowly on my '59 Mod.B 9", and I'm still at the stripping/painting stage.
Does anyone know offhand if SB ever plated any of the lathe parts in cad, zinc, or nickel?
Probably my imagination, but I thought I've seen flat pulleys (headstock or drive) that look like
plating of some sort had worn off in places. Or were they just made in ready-to-rust cast iron and
shipped that way? Sorry for the dumb question, and thank you in advance.
