| 21 forum posts 23 photos | I recently bought a Lineker & Winfield "gap utility" lathe for restoration/renovation, and I would like to contact fellow L& W owners to compare notes about some of their details.. There are some initial pictures in my album.

| 21 forum posts 23 photos | Thank you Mike, Yes i am talking with Tony about the lathe and he has cleared up a couple of questions for me. It turns out the lathe has a fairly unique feature for a lathe of this size which is a two ratio selectable back-gear. Tony has put some pictures and description of the lathe on his archive: http://www.lathes.co.uk/lineker%26winfield/ This lathe was bought in the thirties, and unfortunately the old motor was scrapped. I was told it had a single sliding and lockable pulley and no countershaft. Does anyone know if that would be a typical configuration for small lathes of that vintage ? Also any views on likely colour for a simple 30s lathe would be appreciated. Sofar I have found: - Black on the bed with light green underneath,and dark green underneath that. - Light green Hammerite on the banjo - Light Green and dark green on the cariage - Dark Green on the topslide - Grey on the changewheels - Black on the back gears - Red around oil holes and handles Any views ? |
