Reply To: Can this cylinder be repaired

[JOSEPH BRINCAT]

The lathe is a SB 13″ , the big brother of the heavy 10.  I bought it about 40 years ago from the salvage department at Cadillac Motor Car, here in Detroit where I spent 35 years. Back in those days, before we were overrun by lawyers, the company had an employe salvage sales department. About anything going out could be purchased for the salvage value, including blemished (new) tires, past model stuff like upholstery material, floor matt sets and 5 gallon cans of lacquer paint. Not any more, all that sort of stuff goes to the landfill.
