If the title sounds familiar to you its because someone joined the forum a few years ago looking for brushes for one. I recently acquired one off of Craig's list. Unfortunately it arrived non-functional. Fortunately I was refunded the small amount of money I spent in purchasing it. Because they did not require that I ship the device back I decided to try to fix it. It turns out that the piece of plastic that holds the brushes in, was damaged, probably during shipping. I was able to fabricate a new piece and got the lathe working.
I have not worked on a lathe since I was a boy working on a project for Boy Scouts so I don't know a whole lot about them. One part I know I am missing is the tool rest. I will send pictures in case someone has suggestions on what I can do to replace that.
I am also trying to figure out how to mount work in it. On the "motor" end is a large flat plate with multiple holes in it. How do I mount the work on it?
