Restoring Jet 1024PY

G'day folks,

Photos of Himount as received below.

Circa '70's perhaps? The furniture type handle on the lid might be a give away - I really don't know.

Anyway, is cleaning up well and generally in good shape, although the power feed worm wheel in the apron has been seriously dinged somehow - have to assume some mishandling in the past.

Looks like a Lantain...

Timeonabike, there might be a date on the motor data plate, assuming that there is a data plate and it’s the original motor.

Cheers David, unfortunately nothing there but electrical specs. Looks original though.

Some reasonable sliding surfaces found during recent disassembly. Cross slide and compound parts.

The munted power feed worm wheel shown.
Lead screw cleans up OK.
Apron cleanup ongoing.

Your lathe is identical to my Enco 92010 in every way. Not just similar but identical, down to all the riveted-on info plates. Mine is clearly dated 1982, on the lathe (the Enco nameplate) not the motor. I agree there are Lantains that are also identical.

Great machine, have fun with it.

Thanks Bulgie, always good to have more clues.
Will certainly enjoy it.
Cheers
