I need parts for a vega lathe

I would e-mail Vega, thought headstock spindle on their old lathes (1990’s) were 1” x 8 TPI, know now are 1 ¼” x 8 TPI.

They have great customer service.

If you need an adapter, Penn State Industries has them (although I agree with Bill that a call to Vega is a good idea). Here is one that may work: http://www.pennstateind.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PS&Product_Code=LA11418&Category_Code=spindle-adapters

I just mentioned this vendor in Don W’s lathe blog: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LATHE-FACE-PLATE-8-SHOP-FOX-CAST-IRON-WITH-THREADED-MOUNTING-INSERT-INCLUDED-/370769050667?pt=BI_Tool_Work_Holding&hash=item56538ebc2b

The seller has the 1 1/8th” threaded hub for this faceplate too. He’s a very dependable eBay seller, I’ve bought a few accessories for my lathe from him.
