Hi, I came across this site looking for information about Hercus Lathes. I have just acquired one as part of a 'job lot' and looking to start using it for fun and hobby-type activities. I haven't used a lathe since my apprenticeship (many years ago) so have been looking at beginner videos to try to remember all the safety stuff as well as basic techniques.

The lathe has lots of spares with it, but the gears need re-installing...there's no gears connecting the main drive with the feed drive (Is that what it's called?) Any pictures, diagrams of the set up would be appreciated! I have found some on this forum! It is a 9" (I think model A). I will post some pictures once it is installed in my shed.
