Hello and thanks for adding me to the group and for making all the knowledge about the dalton lathes available here! A Dalton Lot 4 , No.1770 is currently offered on a craigs list equivalent in

Guys, I heard of a Watch Make/ machinist in I think the Minneapolis area who passed and his widow is auctioning his shop. You guys may want to watch this video (maybe twice) and see if there are

One piece and thanks for the reply

Picture one and two are of a late model Lot 5 lathe that still uses the silent chain drive but also has a reversing motor. This was the next to last version of the overhead drive built for metal

It is called the “Back Gear” and basically puts the lathe into a sort of compound mode (to borrow an old automotive term). It gives you many lower RPM speeds to use. Asa side benefit it does lock

What does this lever do? (Top center of image). So far, it seems to lock the machine in place by moving 2 gears onto mating gears on the main shaft.Dan
