Hi,

For a while I’ve been collecting the bits to put my mostly ok but incomplete Hercus 9 back together, thankfully I’ve done quite well. Initially I was going to cut down/machine/grind a random tailstock I was given to make it fit but upon closer inspection and after further consideration I’ve started leaning towards looking for something closer to original. (Bolt or lever type both ok) Wondering if someone may have a Hercus 9 or South Bend or clone tailstock or something similar that dosen’t owe them too much that we could work out a price on.

After seeing some recent lathe auction lots with extras thrown in I wonder if someone has something spare that might fit the bill? I’m not too fussy, as long as it will fit or can be made to fit. I am an ex fitter/machinist with a wild imagination lol.

Thanks,
Steve.
