I don't know if this is a kosher thing to post, but I'll give it a shot.
I, like many of you here, will occasionally rebuild a machine tool, a mill or lathe or what have you. And as such, I will have need for parts that aren't often available on places like eBay or Craigslist.
Some of you may either have those pieces, or know somebody who does, or may at some point run across some for sale that aren't directly accessible to GJ-at-large.
So I propose a thread that's kind of like a running swap meet. If you run across a part at a garage sale or flea market or whatever, you can list it here, or post that you're looking for such-and-such a part.
This is mostly for odd and obscure parts- if you have a bunch of South Bend or Atlas parts to sell, might be better to list those on eBay or something. I'm thinking a thread more like "Hey, I have this [obscure model of lathe] and could use a [unusual part] does anyone have one or know where I can get one?"
Leading off, I'm rebuilding a '43 Springfield 16" Lathe, and would really like to find a complete factory taper attachment for it. I do not know if TA's from bigger Springer machines would work, but if one is located we'd just have to swap some measurements to find out.
I have a TA on the machine, but it's an older Lodge & Shipley assembly. If I find an original Springfield part, the L&S assembly will be up for sale or trade.
If anyone did run across a Springfield getting parted out (definitely not commonly seen, hence the reason for this thread
) there's several other parts I'd like, depending. Like a threading dial, the feed clutch handles off the apron, possibly an oil pump, a factory micrometer carriage stop, and other parts.
Doc.
