I have a 9 x 24 Workshop model that was built in 1935, which I
understand was the first year of this type. (Bought it from Plaza
Machinery VT 6 years ago.)
It differs from later models in that the spindle thread is 1 3/8 x 10
rather than 1? and it does not have a lever for reversing the
spindle
direction. To reverse the spindle a separate gear on a shaft is
inserted in a hole on the back of the headstock which then lines up
with and is meshed into the gear train. (I made the shaft myself
from plans Joe of Plaza sent and bought the gear from Boston Gear.)
Does anyone else have any experience with this type of machine?
