¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi All
?
Donald is sending me copies of all the literature
he has as most of it is new to us.? I will send it to Andy so he can get it
up on the web site.? The lathe Donald has is pick up only and I am
anticipating a trip from Oregon to Wisconsin to get it if I decide to bid on it
and can? win it.? Donald and I have had numerous conversations by
email and phone about his lathe.? he inherited it from a friend that died
and has no interest or knowledge of it.? Most of what he has in his
description is what I gave him or he got off Tony's site in
England.
?
The overhead drive on Donald's lathe is similar to
but unlike any we have seen up till now.? I think this was an evolution
from forward reveres being handled by clutches and gears to a forward reveres
switch and so all the really troublesome parts to these early drives were
replaced with just a switch and simple?belt and silent chain.? The
long lever hanging down from the left of the drive is for tensioning the
belt.? It is in fact the old lever that was used on the models with
clutches.
?
The Lot 8 91/2 inch should be crated for delivery
to Forward Air next week so I am looking forward to seeing this?unknown
lathe.? last year there were some parts to a 9 1/2 inch on eBay and I got
all of them.? There was the lower half of the end door with perfect tags a
set of change gears a chuck and one head stock clamp. The seller tried to find
the rest of the lathe but again it was a death of an old fellow that had it and
the widow or children disposed of it and what we got was all that was
left.? It was not sold it was dumped at the land fill.? They just
missed the parts that I got or they would have been gone also.? By the
looks of the end door and the change gears the lathe must have been in great
shape.? Such a shame.
?
Keep you all posted on the lot 8 when it gets
here.
