I am trying to source (urgently) a part for an old Coronet Major wood
lathe. The part I'm after is one of the adjustable tool rest holders.
If someone would have one of these old lathes or parts thereof, please
email me and I shall send you pics of the exact part I'm after.

I'm in Sydney Australia.
Thanks all.

Adjustable tool rest holder?

Do you mean a banjo?

Might be a difference between countries... is it the part that clamps
down on the ways that the tool rest slides into?

If so, I don't think they change much from model to model. At least
in the case of both my Deltas, the clamping action is just from the
lever pulling a bolt with a washer on it tight against the underside.
If yours is even similar, I would imagine a replacement from any lathe
would work.
