Did you check on eBay?

WayneC – Yes and nothing specific for this lathe and not enough descriptions on what is listed to know if they would be compatible. There is a Sears/Atlas 6×18 listed but again, not sure if it would work or not.

How old is the lathe? You might check on www.owwm.org in the bring out your dead section. If nothing is listed join the site and place a want to buy ad for what you are looking for

Try this link for info. There may be something similar. I’m assuming there are a number of 12” tailstocks that would work.

MedicKen & WayneC – The lathe is old and I would say 1950-60ish. I took your advice and have a post out on owwm as well since there appears to be other people in the same boat. So far I’ve heard that any Delta 12” tailstock from any model will work on this, Yates-American J-line 12” series tailstocks should work, and even JET 12”. However, I still haven’t seen any replacement ones listed anywhere.

Best I’ve seen is the replacement ram part I’m missing (assuming nothing else is wrong) will run about 167-170 from companies such as Ace and eReplacement. Hoping to find lower cost options or some prices for newer full assembly tailstocks.

If your not in a hurry, you can check craigslist and ebay for a while. I have seen 12” tail stocks on ebay before.

I’m not in a rush and checking around on the lists/auctions and local shops to see what turns up. Searching around yesterday it would appear that I’m not the only one looking for 12” tailstocks.
