OK guys, help me find a gear for my lathe.
Enco 1024
Enco is no help.

Those South Bends, Logans and Clausings are looking better now aren't
they. You can still buy these parts both new and used for the American
iron and the Chineese iron is unobtainium. As a general rule, it seems,
that spares become nonexistent when the machines go out of production.
Not really logical given that few machines require parts until they
begin to show signs of age.


Indeed! Another reason to hunt for American iron.
