Anybody have Scully bathtub drive parts?

[Deke Dickerson]

Hello there--

I'm deep in the restoration of my Scully lathe, it's turning into a long, long project....

When I bought my lathe it came with the ancient Westrex drive unit, that was not operational and only 33/78 speeds.

Recently I bought a "project" bathtub drive unit and an original Scully pipe stand and table. Unfortunately, the bathtub drive unit is missing a bunch of parts and is only about halfway there.

Does anybody have any Scully bathtub parts for sale? Or, an even weirder question, does anybody have any Scully bathtub parts disassembled on a shelf or in a box somewhere that they would let me borrow, to have replicated? Mine came with the bathtub itself, the motor, the 33/78 motor "sleeve" and the turntable flywheel and flywheel mount. However, it's missing the feed reduction unit, the entire right hand side unit with the idler wheels, and a few other parts.

Kind of a wild goose chase, I know--but anybody who can help with anything, I'd be most appreciative....

Regarding the status of the rest of the lathe, for those who offered to help last year: I got everything chromed and polished, and discovered the chrome shop chromed several moving parts together without taking them apart first. That cost me a year, I tried everything to fix the problem, finally found a friend with a machine shop who was able to get those parts working again. Now....it's on to the drive, and reassembly of the lathe and carriage....
