I am in the process of buying a new ( to me ) lathe. it is an older sheldon.
Does anyone have any good info or links to parts and information ?

Also this means my Southbend 9" will become redundant.. and I dont have room for it. Anyone interested in giving an old lathe a new lease on life ?

There are at least two Sheldon manuals in the library that should help you with this lathe:

Good luck and please consider posting a few pics... Other than these manuals I don't know much about the Sheldon lathes.

What are you wanting for your Southbend?

Where are you located?
