  My new bench cane with a lathe but the counter shaft has 2 broken wheels on it.  Does anyone know where I could get replacements? Shaft is 6.75mm wheels are 102mm and 50mm.  Wheels are 8.45mm thick.  Lathe is a Moseley.

  What is the round thing with the trap door?

Thanks for your response. The holes for that are in front and behind the circle thing just out of the photos.  I would guess something to help splice the belt but I don't know how that would work.  I do have the foot pedal.

I don't think you can find specific parts for such a vintage machinery, but welding and remachining should be an option. These are no much precision parts anyway.

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
