Hi, I'm Dave and an complete newbie to vintage machinery and OWWM. I bought this lathe from a guy in southern WA state. He said he bought the lathe 3 years ago and turned a few table legs with it. I paid $300 for the lathe and tools shown....probably too much. I am missing a few things and not sure how available they are. I understand that the W/T spindle with 8 tpi are propritary to W/T/ How hard will it be to find an outboard faceplate for outboard turning? Also missing the (don't know the proper term) do-dah that locks the pulley/spindle. The bearings spin freely and I don't anticipate any problems with the spindle at this point. I have a segmented pulley that is too large, and the rivets are rusty. Any suggestions on how to separate the links and shorten? I have what I assume are oil ports on the top/exterior of the spindle. It has a 1/2 hp motor that seems to be ok. I love the mechanical cam device that allows for changing the belt/speed location.
