Re: Lot 2 Serial Number 411
|
Marc the very first Lot 2 lathes had the hand crank handles not hand wheels.? Not sure any of the Lot 2 lathes had hand wheels but the introduction of the Lot 3 did have hand wheels on the apron for the carriage and also the tail stock.? Marc I will say the very first Lot 2 found was in Holland.? It was back in 1999 when I got my first Lot 4.? That lot 2 was badly damaged with rather unusual damage then I realized it had been through two world wars.? Some of the damage looked like it could have been from explosives.? Like Shrapnel damage.? This is the lathe that the end of the bed tail stock end has about three inches missing so I have never known what serial number it is.? The lathe had been repaired a number of times I could tell.? Also was well worn and had seen a lot of work.? You have to wonder just what did that old lathe do in Holland all them years.? It did come with a pair of floor legs though they had been repaired as they had been broken.

Hi Denis,? I do have a door and gears Thankyou I¡¯ve just not put them on for the photo. I¡¯ve yet to clear the Old paint Off the brass plate to work out what gears can go where.? Interestingly I did get another cross slide with the lathe that fits the ways but if fitted with a tool holder would see any tooling way to high. I think the cross slide I speak of is in the first photo album I uploaded. Yes. I have the tail stock barrel it¡¯s getting a good clean.? Bull gear teeth are broken. I also have a damaged number 23 (I think it¡¯s a 23 from memory)? Can¡¯t say for sure about the thread dial. The apron is tapped properly so I don¡¯t know.? I¡¯ll have to count the teeth on dial to check. There are no markings on the top of it. Re the extension? It¡¯s flush when the door is on. I¡¯ll have look but I¡¯m pretty sure it¡¯s one piece as I¡¯ve had everything completely to bits.? One thing I have noticed from the group photos is that the other daltons I see have Drummond / ships wheel type handles vs the kitchen tap type handles on mine??
