Hi all, The motor on my 1942 10L seems to have given up the ghost, and despite my best Google Fu, I’ve had a very difficult time coming up with the best replacement motors due to the fact that it is

Hi David It will be a great idea to list it on eBay. You may even get a better deal. Faith

Spring update: This 10L head is still in the garage and has to go. Thought I would repost this here quickly before I give it to the fellow who bought my lathe. The brass reverse tumbler knob has been

There is an imgur link to photos in my post there, are you able to see the photos in the link?

Can you post pictures? Thanks, Payson.

I did what was supposed to be a temporary trial with a newall and ended up leaving it in place. Works great & no drilling of the lathe. The x encoder head mounts to a welded tee sandwiched at the
