Is it just me or has the Myford ad vanished or has Myford gone with it?

Thread: Lathe

I'm probably being a bit greedy Steve , I have a 4" on a backplate to suit this lathe and also the same for an 8" , I just thought a good 6" would be worth having hence the backplate. Never mind I'll find out the thread and shoulder spec and take it from there.
I do have a manual ( copy) with the 2" X 8TI on the spec page but even that might be a bit iffy , the Taiwanese to English translation is about what you would expect from 1975
Thanks for all your input Steve it is appreciated , with best wishes

I'll be , it is the same as the 1024 Jet , apparently Jet no longer carries any parts
for it , I was mainly interested in a chuck backplate with the thread already
cut, not to worry just have to do it myself.
Thanks for the reply Steve , now if you can just post everything you know
I won't have to keep asking .
Best wishes
Jim.

Perhaps someone can tell me what the Takang lathes were copied from
I think there were a number of names for the same machine
Paramount !. The model I have is a 101 bench lathe from 1975
which has a 2" x 8TPI spindle. There are one or two parts that I
may replace and if it is a direct copy of an English or US
machine it may make life a bit easier.
Thanks All
Jim

Thanks Lads , quoting from a copy of Instruction Manual for "Senior" Milling Machines
" Securely mount the vertical head division ring with 3 socket head cap screws and mount the vertical head onto the ring with 2 tee bolts. mind you the instructions were downloaded from something called Poison Gully .
 A little background may help, this particular machine sat idle for some 12 years after being purchased by the previous owner ,he planned to restore it then put it to work on various steam projects , unfortunately he died so rather than see it maybe deteriorate
 beyond redemption I bought it with the view to bring it back to as near  original as possible hence the division ring. My main interest modelling wise is control line aircraft
 and vintage tether cars so the mill will be put to good use on light applications.My only concern is the bloody thing might be cursed .
 I shall follow up on the suggestion of the Tramming tool for which I most grateful,but the ring is still on the must have list.
       Thanks once again Lads i appreciate your input
         Best wishes
                     Jim.

Thanks once again Steve , I have spoken to the resident smarty who has a light industrial
          workshop and he doesn't see a problem making a division ring.
          I have shown him the rather poor images I have of one mounted so when you find                   time to forward some dimensions I will pass them on and with a bit of luck
                a suitable part can be made.
              Thanks  Steve with best wishes
                              Jim.

Thanks again Steve ,I'll try Home/w/shop , I think the division ring is going to be the difficult one , if all else fails I will have to impose on the members good nature to supply the dimensions and maybe a couple of pics. so that my mentor can machine one , relax Charles it's not you.
                       Jim.

Thanks Steve an ER 32 it is then, with regards to the ball handle I guess I didn't make it too clear that it's for the table , the original has been replaced with a wheel and I don't like it.
            Jim.

Can anyone with a Senior M1 point me in the right direction for a suitable type of chuck and collets for a spindle driven vertical attach.
 I'm also chasing a division ring for  the vert. attach.and a ball handle for the
same     I  would be most grateful for any help .
                        Jim.
