Hooray a Hercus 9" Lathe Register is born
As this topic has brought some unusual replies I thought it best to start a new thread and Hope for the best
So Far I have 4 Forum Members who have
A.Username (ONLY)
B.Serial Number (End of bed on tailstock lock side)
C.Year Of Manufacturer (IF KNOWN)
D.Condition of lathe (COLOUR IF ORIGINAL)
E.What Extras,Goodies, (OR WISDOM )
F. Modifications (IF ANY)
G. Any help with knowledge of were to find parts or
complete lathes or if you want to sell
H. Years of ownership and KNOWLEDGE
That is it no name addresses phone numbers mother's first boyfriend just what you use on the Forum to make up a register
These lathes date bate pre 1940's and finish in the 1970's
Thousands were made we had 12 at my Technical School and 6 of the larger Hercus
This is my idea to help other Hercus Owners (OLD AND NEW ) to be able to look at the Register to see who has the closest machine in age to ask for HELP
As I have a 1941 Hercus can anyone help with that one ????
So Please get your 2 little fingers to the Keyboard and let me know as I know there are thousands of 9" lathes but where are they or do you know where to find one
Remember all that is required is User name on the Forum and to be glad to help other Hercus Owners
All the best Derek
