Having recently bought a 1947 Boxford 'Precision' lathe I did a minor stripdown to see why there was a lot of backlash in the longitudinal and traverse feedscrews. No surprise, they were both very (very) worn. They are both 20tpi left-hand threads, thread angle is impossible to guess due to wear.
So here is the (probably hopeless) request ... does anyone know if it is possible to get spares for these, or failing that, where I can get a 20tpi LH tap and die so I can use the Myford to make them up.
BTW, it is a lovely little lathe, see ebay Item number 7571950044 for picture.
TIA for any suggestions/hints/tips/sympathy.
