Lathe Tailstock wanted

[brucey]

HI
i have purchased an 'ALPINE' TD-5AH Lathe 5"center height, (Alpine being its market name in the UK) Its of Taiwanese origin with a company name 'TIDA'

The same lath was sold in the USA by 'Wholesale Tools' (WT) TD-5AH

Its missing its tailstock, which iam searching for.

The following lathes were very similar, but not identical.

JET 1024 & 1036

ENCO 92010

Any help greatly appreciated

If you cannot find one how about casting one and making it like the Gingery lathe. Just a thought.

thanks, that is one option i suppose.
But i would prefer to find the original or failing that make one fit from another lathe with a 5"center height.

I have one from a LeBlond 13 inch lathe.
