Hi All,
Well the South Bend 9 Model A has landed in my basement! ;D
Another lathe that will require a spot on the new bench and another concrete slab to be poured! ;D
Back to my question!
Where do all of the south Bend owners get their spare parts from?
I am also looking for some accessories, like the fixed and traveling steady rests and a 4 jaw chuck.
I have placed a 'Wanted" add in our local classifieds although not too much really comes from there...
Been browsing fleabay and they have quite a bit but would really like to buy from a guy that knows what he is doing.
Not just some numbskull that buys a good lathe and parts it out...
I have also seen "Plaza Machinery" and contacted Joe about something a years or so ago.
Still waiting for a reply from him, so i am not too sure about that place either.
Seems as soon as they know you are across a border their tune changes for some reason....
Any help or tips would be great!!
Thanks,
Andrew
