I found a spring near my headstock this morning and can't figure out where it came from.
This is a picture of the spring.
This is a picture of my lathe. It is a South Bend 10K built around 1974.
And this is about where I found it behind the headstock on the lathe table top.
I have recently been doing light small work in my 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks, holding the tools in my Aloris QCTP. I have taken a good look around the lathe head stock and have examined both my chucks for any obviously missing springs but so far I haven't a clue where this spring belongs. I also took a good look at the head stock cover interlocking system but came up empty. Everything seems to still be working and I hear no strange noises yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
