3 Jaw Chuck for Craftsman 6" metal Lathe

Looking for a chuck (self centering) for an Atlas/Craftsman 6" metal cutting lathe. Have the 4 independant jaw chuck. Being frugal, I'd prefer a usable used one. Any help will be appreciated.

Just make sure you get one with the right thread to fit your lathe. IIRC they changed the spindle thread somewhere along the way.

There's a Yahoo user group called IIRC "atlas_craftsman · Atlas_Craftsman Metal Working Machines". I'm sure the guys there could help you re the spindle thread size issue.
