Just scored a 8mm collet tailstock for a price below the national debt....been looking for two years!....pictures when it gets here
steamer:
Oooh ooooh and another sought after trinket....a fixed steady!.....got a decent.deal on that too!
steamer:
Pictures today I think. I got my work done at work, and took the second week of vacation that I wanted to take.
A Tailstock ( 8 mm collet holding push tailstock) and a steady rest for the Levin.) the TS needs a little cleaning up, but the bore and spindle are perfect as is center height....so it wont take too much I think

Well If you dont mind the lack of Chrome, the painted ones ( mostly war machines) come up for very reasonable prices. Mine was one of the very first Levin's, (39-41 according to Levin) and the Tailstock and steady I just got, I think were middle to late 40's Dropped right on and aligned perfectly. I needed to make a new clamp bolt for the TS which I just finished and the steady clamp screw is far too long, so I'll shorten that up. Working on that right now....just need to draw up a quick lathe fixture to hang on to it.
