Anybody have a extra tailstock kicking around for a South Bend model A. I’ve been tripping over this lathe I was thinking of fixing up but have lost motivation as of late. possibly if I had a tailstock it would motivate me more. Or it might not but at least it would be complete.

I kinda miss spoke earlier, i I do have a tailstock for an A Model, but it's a 16", I assume that it's a 9" required. Have to wonder, do tailstocks run away with socks? Nothing else seems to go missing as much as those two..... Do seem like an odd couple though. :p
 
I think I ran into a guy selling South Bend lathe parts on Kijiji or FB. let me take a look and see if I can find his ad again.

ok heres the ad. he seems to collect lathes and sell the parts. he has a few ads mentioning south bend but none list tailstock. might be worth reaching out to him though.
