Im putting a Katakura turret lathe (second ops) together and I need a cross slide. This is the gizmo that carrys the parting or form tools and is actuated by a lever.
Distance across the ways, 4.75" Flat ways similar to Atlas.
I can modify easily enough. The only serious criteria is that it be fairly narrow as this is a small lathe and the turret only has a 3.5" travel.

I have something that may work for you. It's would be a "project" as it's incomplete. Looks like it might have been designed for an Atlas/Craftsman but it has no makers name or other ID info. Email me if interested and I'll send a picture. I'd be open to a trade.
In response to your email, I tried to send you pics of what I have a few days ago but you have apparently mangled your email address. If you'd like to reply privately with a working address I'll re-send.
Odd..thats a valid email address and I get literally hundreds of messages (spam) a day there. Perhaps the spam filter vaporized your messages. Try my alternative one...gunneraschATmyway.com
Thanks

The first private email from you had the same return address as you use on the newsgroup, which has NOSPAM in the middle. I didn't notice that at the time and assume that NOSPAM was inserted to foil the spammers. If so, I'm kind of perplexed as to why you would want to use that address in private email, though.
IAC, I've sent the pics and a bit more info to your "myway" address. Please let me know here if you don't receive them.
Just because it has "NOSPAM" in it does not necessarily make it a "munged" address. Note that the address-collecting 'bots tend to either skip over addresses which include the word "SPAM" in them, on the theory that they *are* munged -- or remove it to "fix" it, so one which uses that as a *valid* e-mail address is a good way to minimize the number of times it is collected by the spambots.
Just a consideration. I don't know whether gunner has actually done this, but since he says it is a valid address, I presume that he has.
I would consider stating that it *is* valid would be a more constructive use of his .sig space than his usual use. :-)
remove the "nospam" parts from the email addy. Id not realized that there are folks who wouldnt think to do this. There are any number of ways to "mung" email addresses to some extent, and still keep them legible and logical to the sendee. Often times people will indicate what to remove in their sigs. Its only been recently that I started using the NoSpam additive and then only on one of my computers (irrc) the one I post from in So. Cal during the week. I think This computer at home has the straight email addy.
I use Eudora for my email client, but occasionally I will use the email client in Agent to respond directly via email, to a poster. And Agent uses the same addy as it does for the newsreader/posting section. In your case thats exactly what I did, emailed directly from Agent, rather than cutting and pasting into Eudora. And hence the Nospam addy was included in the return to.
As you noticed I even munged my posted Myway address by including the AT in lue of the @ symbol. The Myway account in the two years Ive had it (free btw), I think Ive gotten perhaps 4 spams, and when looking at the headers, they went out to computer generated name lists. So Ive been very careful about not posting that one in any shape or form that a bot could harvest it.
Even my hotmail account, which MSN is supposed to do heavy spam filtering, gets me about 40 or so spams a day. And Ive only used that addy 4-5 times a couple years ago when my lightspeed provider was screwed up for a week.
Btw..www.myway.com is a pretty good free email provider with 6 megs of online and very agressive anti spam, plus the front page has a good bit of news with NO popups.
I honestly dont know how or why the Myway people provide it for free. I cannot figure out how they are making any money off of it.
IRRC Jim Rozen has one of the hardest to figure out email mungs.
I get, based on a conservative estimate, around 200 emails a day into my Lightspeed mailbox, about 99% of which is spam, and the vast majority of it due to 'bots harvesting my email addy from the newsgroups.
Sorry about the confusion. Ive been doing this for so long and so intensivly, that this sort of thing is just part of my everyday life.

Using NOSPAM in an email address actually seems pretty clever for the reasons you mentioned, but it seems that such is not the case from Gunner's followup and I've had two delivery failure notices from that address. Address munging makes sense in a newsgroup but why use one in private email?
FWIW, I usually check for munged addresses when replying privately to a newsgroup message but rarely think of doing that in private email. It seems to me that it would be in the sender's best interest to use a valid address when sending privately and especially when asking for something.
That scenario gradually ocurred to me. Still it would make sense to add a line warning the recipient of the munge.
I use MSN (not the Hotmail domain), with no munging and only get 5-15 spams a day, but then I'm not as prolific on the newsgroups as you :-)
Now that the subject has been beat to death, have you received the pics and if so are you still interested? As mentioned I'd be interested in a trade moreso than a cash transaction.
The jrr part are my initials. James Robert Rozen. When I worked for GTE labs in the early 80s, they assigned user IDs for their mainframe automatically based on your initials. Of course in a plant with a thousand or so employees somebody would have a duplicate, so they appended a number after the letters. I was the first 'jrr' so I got the (zero) after mine. Non-negotiable, take it or leave it.
Once you snag an address, you stick with it. So when I jumped ship to big blue I kept the jrr0. But trouble was, at this time e-mail was starting to take off. At GTE, I was the only one typing in jrr0 to the ascii terminal to connect to a 360 downstairs.
But now other folks were typing in jrr0, or jrro, or jrrO. The first is not the same as the last, you understand. Zeros look a lot like capital Ohs. So I investigated
*changing* my VM user ID.
Hah. You would have though I was trying to rip their livers out or something. I *could* get _another_ address, according to the IT folks. They weren't called IT folks back then. But *my* management thought it was not neccesary. OK, fine.
So I started putting the jrr(zero) in the text of my messages, as a reminder. Most of the time it worked.
Now comes external e-mail. I do get some spam but it's not bad. So I figure, why not change jrr0 at watson.ibm to jrr(zero) at watson (dot) ibm. The use of "at" rather than @ BTW is actually true VM syntax. They don't use the @ key for addresses. That's the way it was done in the 'olden days.'
So I figure that if folks are smart enough to figure out the (zero) and the 'at' then they can sure figure out the (dot).
Then VM starts to disapear from the workplace. But I like having all my external mail arriving from there, because it makes it easy to see the really imporant stuff right away. Big mainframes leave T.J. Watson resarch, so they link us to a VM machine up in Poughkeepsie. Hence the poukeepsie manufacturing (pkmfg) part.
It's whacky I know, but almost *none* of my address is designed to frustrate the user. I figure if it's important, somebody will mention the matter here on the newsgroup, and I'll drop that person a note.

Yes Mike, I got them. Nice old piece of equipment that will need some engineering to get it to work. No problem. So what do I have that you want in trade?

From his followup, it was not intentional, but rather an artifact of what he used as an e-mail client. Agent or Eudora can handle keeping the address separate for e-mail from news, but apparently IE can't keep them separate, so a munged address for usenet wound up also munging in private e-mail.
But I have known people to use the approach which I suggested above -- and it does work to a certain extent -- though not universally. Some spamers are more stupid than others, it would seem. :-)
