Just picked up SN 18951 NCR 9 here is Naples, FL. Owner lived about 2 hours from here. Lathe is in good shape but is missing a couple of the easily obtainable things. Need a Jacobs chuck for the tail stock. I want to replace the lantern tool post with a quick change. (I got used to the quick change posts using previous lathes.) I need a motor belt. I'll prolly be looking for a spare flat belt soon.
I have pulled the cross feed apart and got backlash down to about .0015. I was able to tighten the lead screw as well.
The lathe needs a good rebuilding. So far, the only place I can find the felts in a kit is EvilBay for about 35.00. That seems a little steep for a coupla hunks of felt. Are they available elsewhere?
Also, Is there any way to add a quick change gearbox? and/or a power cross feed?
