Thanks everyone for all your replies. As I am a clock restorer rather than a clock maker, I am not used to the in's and out's of a lathe and so I went and saw a friend who does. This is the outcome. First in answer to some questions. The feed screw (is that the right term?) is 1/4" 40tpi and is badly worn. The two bronze bits are also badly worn. I was given the lathe as payment for restoring a 19century bracket clock and the feed screw always was a bit iffy. I did not strip the threads..someone else did. Anyway. My friend is going to make up a brand new feed screw and two new tapped bronze bits. thanks everyone. Peter

Hi. I have a early Pultra P type lathe which I use for clock making. The brass nut on the cross slide (left to right) unit is stripped (don't ask) Question: where on earth can I get another one. A friend of mine thinks is may be a ACME type. See pictures.
