I acquired a 1953 SBL 9” model A, two owner father/son, Then passed on to me.
Lathe is in my opinion excellent shape, neglected but excellent shape. I cleaned it up this weekend and began using but noticing some missing parts. If anyone is of any help to point me in the direction to purchase them would be appreciated.
Thread dial indicator
Steady rest
Carriage stop
Also any help with an indexing plate. (Universal, custom built) looking for something I can bolt on possibly.
I am missing some parts for the tapering attachment I think. It doesn’t seem complete.
The lathe has the original 1/2 hp GE motor but has a start capacitor problem, I have to pull the belt and turn on at the same time to get it going. If anyone has any info on this as I have looked but can’t find much on replacement part or even someone to do it.
With this lathe came and I have not seen one anywhere but a turret that has never been used. Needs cleaned up but I don’t think I have a purpose for it and might be willing to sell/trade.
