Hi, I realise this is an old thread but with very little information floating around on the web i thought i'd give it a try.

I have recently acquired a boring head like above, which is in nice condition. Bought it as it looked heavy, well made and the dial looked clear, despite no obvious markings etc.

After receiving it I discovered extra mechanisms inside which prompted me to do some research and turns out it was once an automatic head...to my delight. Mine was never advertised as auto, as it has undergone a modification to the top and has had the collars removed and blanked off to turn it into a basic boring head.

Most of the complex mechanism is still there, ratchet etc, I am just wondering if anybody had any diagrams or pictures of the internals of the top part to see if I can make something to bring back its functionality.

I will try and upload pictures in due course.

Many thanks, Andrew
