I am the new Industrial Arts instructor at a small highschool in Moffat,Colorado. We have a small, very nice Shipley lathe built in 1943 which has never been set up for use at the school. I would like my students to be able to use it. If anyone knows where i could get info. on this machine i would appreciate it grealy. We need a toolpost and parts for the taper attchment. I could build what we need, but would prefer the real thing. Model# 608-pv, Serial# 1109, Built 4-12-43, 4" bed to spindle center, all cast brass guards on headstock...beautiful machine!! Thanks much! efrey

Check with some local area machine shops and see where they get their stuff. They might even have something you need.

I just replaced my 1913 South Bend lathe with a Sydney brand that's about 50 years newer. Finally got one with quick change gears. You mentioned Shipley----- Lodge and Shipley was a brand name some years ago. I would check major newspaper classifieds in the Industrial Tool, or Mahcinery, Metals, Tools category, or something similar. Check with a local machine shop for their industrial tool supplier. Make up some www addresses and see what comes up. Ex: www.southbendlathe.com brings you to the South Bend site.

You might try contacting the Fuch's company in Omaha, Ne. I don't know the phone number, but I am sure they are listed in the yellow pages. Otherwise, do a web search, I know there are some companies that specialize in parts for outdated machining tools.
That Shipley lathe sounds like just what I need in my home shop, it would be very handy.
