Got this request a few moments ago

"I found your name and email on a CNC forum about repairing Monarch
lathes. I have a 1944 Monarch 12�ck (I think) and am in need of the a
Headstock Spindle Speed Change Lever. Would you have one of these or
know where I could find one?"

Any ideas of where to find one for the gentleman?

As most of these lathes, still found, are good for scrap only, I
would keep watching ebay. I scrapped a lathe like that once and sold a
lot of parts that typically break when these lathes are mishandled.

If you run across one...or that part...let me know. Its from a guy at
a college machine shop trying to keep a machine going.

Might have to turn it into a "Multi Discipline Project" - design a
mold, cast it, machine to fit.

As for the 1944 vintage machines being good for scrap only -
arrgh. Maybe in a production shop, but elsewhere? Ja shur, getting
parts can be a brass plated bitch, but ... it is the challenge. "We're
metal workers!"

Hmmm... I was just thinking before I read your reply, that making a new
handle might be a good class/shop project.

Indeed it would.

I mentioned in our conversation that it could be simply made out of
bits and pieces welded together. It would not match cosmetically..but
a spline is a spline etc. He agreed
