Well Guys, here are some pics of my 90% finished lathe
After finding out that small castings crystalise I have come across a few cracked parts plus broken parts when picked up

So the Model A Apron has only hand wheel feel and no Crossfeed as I cannot buy this concentric and mating handle to finish the apron off properly
as you can see the Disc Rotor it is off my Holden Jackaroo which is 10" in diameter and I still have over 2" clearance to the lathe bed

All that remains is to replace the felt in the holes and fit the new oilers and then wire up the motor and she is ready to fire up and give the old girl it's first good run in 15 Months
So has anybody got a Model A apron lying around for pieces as this concentric controls all the feeds for the worm and the crosslide or has anyone got a Model C apron that I can buy ???
Please let me know as the Model C apron can be a bare casting and the Model A just any thing Model A Apron

Hoping someone has some parts to sell

all the best Derek
