WTB/WTT/WTS: W&S #4 Lathe Parts

WTB:

need a linkage piece for a collet closer for a W&S #4 Square-Head Lathe, and the ring w/ the two fingers mounted on the rear-end of the closer itself. here's a photo of the lathe:

here's a photo of the collet closer setup w/ a W&S #3 (non-squearehead version) linkage piece in place; you can see that it is "short" in the area which contacts the closer itself, but gives an idea of the actual piece that is needed: this linkage piece actually does work, but would probably eventually provide problems after continuous production use; the original, correct piece is what we want - obviously, if someone wants an arm and a leg we'll just manufacture the piece but we're in a big hurry.

here's two photos of the linkage arm off the machine to give an idea of it's likeness:

in the above photo there is also a red arrow pointing to another missing piece; here is a photo of this ring from a W&S #3 (again, non-squarehead version) to show what it looks like - we are assuming the one we need is fairly close to the one pictured - the ring w/ the two fingers is what we're looking for:

this lathe also came w/ a bunch of parts which we have no use for; will sell, trade, etc., for parts we need. here's a boring attachment that is on the lathe right now (the boss is keeping the actual boring bar itself) - it looks like it needed two aluminum adapter plates to fit our turret:

more parts we don't need, including an unknown hydraulic chuck (no hydraulic unit came w/ this, just what you see): i'll try to get into the wooden box and layout all the items today or tomorrow - any collets are being kept for our collet closer setup.

any help on the collet closer parts would be appreciated!! anyone have the manual on the W&S collet closer? please EMAIL replies, i don't always get to read the newsgroup constantly!! tnx, barry carson city, nv

When the dude with the thick vietnamese accent answers..tell him Gunner referred you. He has a #4 collecting rust in the parking lot.

Warn the poor guy to have a pot of coffee and a couple of sandwiches ready before he calls Tho! (Give Tho my best, I still owe him a care package...remind me!)
