I have just been very lucky to acquire two Pultra instrument lathes that belonged to a deceased member of our local model engineering society.
The one on the cabinet is a Pultra 1750 (50mm centre height) with a lot of accessories, the other is a 1770 capstan lathe (70mm centre height).
These will replace my earlier model P Pultra which I have only just recently finished restoring.
I was only going to try and get the capstan lathe to start with, the idea being to set it up for making studs ( I have lots to make for "Agnes" and "Bradford" )
But having given it some thought, I decided to splash out and buy the whole lot. These cabinet stands are quite rare to find these days, so I dont think another one would have come my way any time soon.
I am now on the hunt for some tooling for the capstan, ideally on 1/2" shanks, but maybe some 5/8" ones could be made to fit.
