Look for the two brass, bronze drive pulleys, original or repro

Maybe someone could get a local engineering company the copy theirs, happy to pay.

I have a spare original brass one for the overhead side of an 8D. You will need to check if it is the same as the 8DG.
The Aluminum one shown mounted on my lathe was custom made for the previous owner to have different pitch combinations. It works works fine for me.

Shoot me a PM with your absolute best offer and I'll think about it... I'm always a buyer and rarely a seller.

Hi Bryan,

What does the bronze "C" do around the turn table shaft pulley? Does it clamp at the bottom of the TT bearing housing or something?

Regards,
Andy

I'm confused. Why is it that you want to change over to pulleys?
Isn't the 8dg direct drive? Mine is a rim drive 8D so I really don't know how the pulleys come into play with the direct shaft.
In your photos I don't see the direct drive shaft.

The 8dg was originally a pulley like yours. What I have a cross between an 8DG and a 8DGV - a prototype. I was thinking of changing it back to the standard 8DG
