Dickson type tool holders perhaps S3 size

I've now acquired two buddies Mark and Randy, both from SW Ontario and into automobiles, who both have Colchester Master 2500 lathes, but both have tool post deficiencies. Mark has only 1 holder and needs a couple more tool holders. I've said I can spare a couple S2 size holders for a fair price. so he is good. But Mark sent Randy my way, because Randy bought a lathe at an auction and it came with 5 holders, but no QCTP. He did get a 2 way standard garbage post.

So I told Randy I'd post his holders here and see if anyone wanted to take a risk on them, to me they look like Dickson knock offs in S3 size.

I told Randy fellow I would sell him my surplus Dickson S2 post which will fit his lathe for cheap if I know I can bore a hole in it so he can mount it. I haven't yet tried because I have to see about a carbide bit in the proper size. It's a S2T for CNC lathe with a funky 4 bolt perimeter mounting.

So trade talks welcome. Purchases of these holders is welcome. Note they're missing bolts and 3 height adjusters, uncertain vintage and origin. Randy just wants to get a post and a couple holders and wants dickson style.

Oh and randy is near Stratford so if you happen to be closer to there than Toronto that would be nice 20230317_135840.jpeg

I believe these holders will fit a Swiss Type 125 tool holder. I'd be willing to take a chance on them for a reasonable price. Right now I have a toolpost with no holders. I'm in Nova Scotia so I can't drop by unfortunately.

I've reached out to my acquaintance to see if he still has them. I haven't heard otherwise. If he does I'll put you directly in touch with him
