I’ve owned this Dalton six b-4 lot 5 s/n 294 for almost 20 years. I’ve always used it gently knowing how old it is, but today its age finally caught up to me. The screw that drives the tail stock in and out broken off drilling a 1/4 inch hole. I guess it was just its time. ?The screw that drives the tail stock in and out broken in half. I’m assuming there was a crack from the keyway that slowly got larger overtime and it finally bit the dust today.

Is anyone familiar on this group with obtaining replacement parts? ?I sincerely doubt anything is for sale, but I was wondering if anyone knew someone that could make me a replacement? I have all the pieces so I’m sure a competent machine shop could make a replacement for me. I’m just not really sure where to go as this is always been a hobby for me. I only use the lathe 3 to 6 times a year.
