=========================================================================
I've posted to the RCM drop box, three pics of two lathes I've bought, 
dblathe1.jpg, dblathe4.jpg, and dblathe5.jpg.

They have no casting marks to identify and I haven't been unable 
to find anything similar on the net to compare to. I would like 
to get a proper set of change gears for dblathe1.jpg, because the 
ones I've got I'm sure didn't come with it as they are not all the 
same gear teeth. 

Info 
Lead Screw 4 tpi 
spindle gear is 24 tooth 
compound bull gear is 24\12 ( Just the 12 is sitting on the lathe 
in the picture and it needs more machining and be turned around for 
the 24 tooth to go on it.) Idler and lead screw gears are 25, 30, 35, 
40, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70, 75, 90, and 100 tooth. With these numbers it 
is only useful for feed rates not threading. 

I would also like to look into getting the swivel base and compound 
for dblathe1.jpg as well. If worse comes to worse I may just take the 
compound or cross feed and compound off dblathe5.jpg and put it onto 
dblathe1.jpg and change dblathe5.jpg into a wood lathe. 

I've also posted to the box a 4 pics of my Shaper and Gingery style 
furnace which I have made larger, if anyone might like to see.
