I am considering purchasing a used ANDES 12" X 36" model SSB-16CA (F) lathe. It has two previous owners, it is in good condition, comes with some good tooling and the price is right. I have done an exhaustive search on the internet and can not find anyone advertising parts for sell for this machine. It was made in Tiawan and is a close copy of a South Bend G26T machine but I don't believe they are identical. The manufacturer and the seller, Warner Tool & Machine out of California are no longer in business. Does anyone know where you can buy parts for this machine?
 
I'm sure it matches up with some of the other lathes that Grizzly sells. If not, next bet would be Jet. If no match, I would pass on the lathe unless you want to make your own replacement parts. And if you are comfortable with doing this, go for it!
For me, I make most of my own repair parts, very few parts I buy unless they are common off the shelf at the local bearing house or supply store including eBay.
