Ronald,
I am a friend of Dennis Turk in Origon. He use to be the "DaltonGuy" and I heard you really like these neat old lathes too.
I have A Dalton lot 4 and am getting another one in a few weeks. I am thinking about parting out or selling outrightmy old dalton lathe when the new one comes.
I have taken apart, cleaned and repainted the lathe. I made an overhead drive unit incorperating a period correct motor. The lathe works beautifully and has virtually no play in the headstock. The back gear works. It has an insert in the headstock that has been machined to fit C-3 collets. I made a collet nose piece to protect the threads when using the collets. There is an aftermarket 3-jaw and a 4-jaw that might be origional ( I will know when the new one gets here). I might have some duplicate parts for sale too, including an extra 2 sets of change gears.
I know you have a Yahoo group out there in the Internet land and thought one of the members might need some parts. If you want to forward my e-mail it will be Okay.
Until Later,
Jon Hathcock
