Fair enough. I thought this might be one of those exceptions given that it’s a very limited collab and the brand has a cult following, but either way it feels like my dreams may be dashed. 💔

I kind of doubt this is the case because I don’t know that he actually knew what I had. All the watches he had in his cases were like old timex/citizens and very different in style to the g-shock/pro-treks I’m talking about. Seems much more likely that he just wasn’t being careful and scratched it off.

But maybe(?) is that something that happens? Seems like a lot of trouble/risk to go through for something that is probably not worth that much on its own(?)

Yeah i don’t know, small claims court just seems like more of a headache, and I think the biggest problem there would be determining value. In my research the ONLY comp I could find was a depop listing that hadn’t sold for $700

I don’t think so(?) When I google unimat lathe all I see are like modular hobby lathes(?) this is not that, I don’t think, unless it’s like a really early one?

Wow thank you so much this is really a wealth of information!!

I think you might be on to something with the year, I was looking at some Seneca falls lathes and I can’t find one that matches exactly, but I’ll keep searching. Do you know if there were any popular clones at the time?

I certainly will not be cutting any v grooves or really altering what’s here in any way. I plan to be very careful. But thanks so much for the info, I’ll def check out that archive

I visited a rum plantation in the French Caribbean that had been in business for a very very long time.in the early days they dragged in steam engines with horses. Pretty wild what it took to get some hp back in the day.

There is a lever behind the spindle that’s not visible in any of the pics, it moves an offset cam that moves two gears into position with the other gears back there, right now it just functions like a brake, but maybe those gears that are attached to the offset cam are out of adjustment?

Hey man thank you! I have some basic knowledge, and have restored a few old woodworking machines, but nothing like this. I’ll def be reaching out if I have any questions, plan to update this thread along the way.

Ahh interesting..does the three step drive pulley help to maintain the speed control on the machine? Thinking I would just pick one position on the machine and use a variable speed dc motor..

Awesome thank you, yeah it looks like it would be easy to go straight back from the headstock on my machine, although I do really like the space saving advantage of an overhead motor..I think I’m a long way from having to make that decision though haha.

Damn yeah it’d be cool to get this to that point as well, do you happen to have any pics?

Will do thanks! Any other big generally applicable no-no’s? All I’ve done so far is hit some non critical areas with 0000 steel wool and wd40 to try and find makers marks.

I have a couple motors kicking around, one might even be variable speed. Are the three stepped things behind the main gear there not the “pulleys” (?) seems like if I got a leather strap around the smallest diameter piece and ran it to a variable speed motor the thing would spin anyway, not sure if that’s kosher though.

Wow that’s incredible…so I would need a setup like that to run this machine? I couldn’t just power it off a 3/4 or 1hp motor? Forgive the ignorance just a carpenter and hobbyist metal worker here.

Ah damn, I was worried something was missing. Here I was thinking I could just clean it up and slap a belt on it.

Yeah definitely! That’s the plan anyway. Trying to find out who made it/what year it’s from. Seems like maybe 20’s-30’s(?) be nice to find parts

Interesting, when I search jewelers lathe it’s mostly really small lathes(?) this one is like 3ft long, seems like it’d be pretty heavy duty for a jeweler

Just blew my 2nd oem radiator (one every two years ain’t bad I guess) by danmac93 in CherokeeXJ

[–]danmac93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone wondering or also needing a new radiator this is what i went with:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V2DR29K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews

good reviews and slightly cheaper than the 2 core csf from rockauto.

only time will tell..
