Show us your Logan lathes!

Holescreek,

Want can you tell me about the stops on your lathe that I have identified with arrows. Did you buy and install them or make them? Any details would be great.

The thing on the left is a Micrometer Carriage Stop (Logan made them as an accessory, that one looks a bit different than the one I have). The thing on the right is a "Trav-A-Dial". It's more of less a mechanical DRO.
 
Yep, Trav-a-Dial on the right. If you ever try one you won't be able to live without it. I moved that one from the Logan to my Traytop. The micrometer stop is home made.

I thought I'd drop in and post a picture(s) of my Logan 200. I just finished painting it in the nick of time as the cold moved in on me. However, I didn't get to paint the stand or the tray yet. I bought this back in August of 2014. (I think from a guy near Truckee? He might be on here? It snowed on us that day.) and I am just now to the point of being able to use it.

Hopefully this edit is not picture overkill. But I've added all the painted pictures and the original condition pictures. Sorry the unpainted pictures are so dark. I think I was a bit too excited about my purchase.

My avatar shows what I started with, and this is an in process shot. Working on a taper attachment right now while I am waiting for my chip pan to be blasted clean... This is an 820 with the turret tail stock..

And here it is completed, a few bushings to make and finish the hand wheels, and ready for another 60 + years of service.
