So my lathe is doing well but as always, it could be better. It is an 1939/40 10L. Things I would like to change on it are as follows.
It has the single belt position pulleys on the motor to countershaft. It would be nice to have the wider RPM range the 2 position pulleys offer.
It doesn't have a taper attachment. That would also be nice to have.
The compound is a little chewed up from PO crashing it.
So the question is, would those parts work on both the 9A and 10L?
Reason being is I spotted a 9A at a decent price which includes a taper attachment and also has the 2 position pulleys. I could buy it for less than I would pay for the taper attachment alone.
Of course it all depends on if it would actually fit on my 10L. I know some of the parts are completely non-interchangeable, like the saddle and apron, tailstock and the headstock. And the bed is 6" shorter than mine so the lead screw wouldn't be useful to me.
So will those parts fit?
