Hello to all and new to this forum. Being new I'm probably going to say things using the wrong terminology and hope that i will do better in the future. With that said, here's my issue.
I've never purchased a lather before and wanted to start with something small and inexpensive, The last time i used a lathes was way back in 1982! So i found a deal on a model 1000 Unilathe 9". I don't need anything much bigger for the type of work i will be doing, so i loaded it up and its now in my shop.
The problem: I have now discovered there are gears missing from the Feedbox. If you look in the parts manual, I need #6(B-65711), #7(B-65712), and #11(B-65706) on page 9. Probably a shot in the dark but i'm at a loss here. The really interesting thing is that what i do have for gears does not match the parts manual i downloaded. The folks in Canada can make the parts from scratch but also confirmed that the design did change towards the end of the production run and do not have an updated part list. Does anyone have these? Maybe tell me where else i can look? Is there anyone that is parting out a 9" unit and be willing to sell me a used Feedbox?
Thanks,
Sal
