Teetering on the edge of insanity

Finally after much surfing and searching I have found a lathe that I hope will be suitable for my workshop.
It's a 1908 Drummond 3 1/2" Flat bed lathe build not far from Manky Mansions, Ryders Hill, Guildford, Surrey.
Needs a few parts either reparing or replacing and a Stand but as this lathe originally was foot operated by Treadle plate the original stand with attached flywheel is not required.
Came with a 2" three jaw chuck and a 4" four jaw, face plate and change wheels (for thread cutting)
Here's a sale's picture of what it should look like.

Cool! Making them in black & white is a nice touch.  |

My Nan used to have a treadle operated sewing machine like that TP. It was rubbish for making wheel spindles on though.

H Milnes is the maker but the age? Owner reckoned maybe 1930. The guy he bought was an engineer and has modified it to run with taper roller bearings and made lots of extra bits for it.

Extras! wot extras? I have most of the change wheels and two chucks but need a three jaw with external and internal jaws, would be interested in any details of any extras you have and doc's for it, as I can't find any at all. Andy if the s**t hit's the fan, this one maybe up for sale and for a small fee I'm willin' to teach Turning to anyone. I really wanted something abit more modern say 50 years old and metric but heyho you gotta take what's on offer for what you can afford eh!  |

don't you go knocking drummonds, they are brilliant lathes....they later became myfords but during the war they were used for making torpedos and the like, I do have a colchester student and a colchester triumph as well but I love the drummond for small work, I will try and search out some info for you  |
