So, I've got a busted T34706 Central Machinery (HF) lathe in my shop that's taking up space. I've got a Jet mini, and a Jet 1642 that I use all the time, so I don't really need this thing.
In fact, I really need to get rid of this lathe, but I don't want to just junk it.
I've got the thing listed on Craigslist for cheeep, but got no takers. I figure folks don't want to buy a busted lathe, so I either give the thing away (but who wants it?), drop it off at GoodWill, or order parts and fix it. (I really hate to just junk it...)
Problem is, according to reliable sources, the HF isn't too swift about getting those replacement parts to you, even if they are quite inexpensive.
This thing needs one of the Reeves Drive pulleys on the motor side. In this thread, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=131077&highlight=pulley I read that the Grizzly or the Jet pulleys may fit. Does anyone know?
Got any other ideas how I might solve my problem?
(Sorry about the link to CL- that was a total copy/paste accident, I meant to post the one to Joshua's thread above.)
