In search of ...... Atlas 618 lantern tool post

I always ask with significant aingst, questions like: are you sure you really want a lantern tool post? They were and still are a great turn of the century tool post - especially for HSS tools. But they are not nearly as adaptable as a more modern style tool post - with lots of these to choose from too eg Aloris, Dixon, etc etc.

Well.....I picked something up over the weekend and all it is missing is the original tool post. Might as well complete the set. ;) If I keep it, I have a QCTP on my mini lathe that will get moved over. (Actually it might be too big.)

Wow, that was fast. :) Can you check and let me know? I have the dished washer and the rocker but missing the rest of it.

I'm actually quite sure I do have one but I have it crated up with the lathe in storage. I'll try to get to it later this week if that's OK with you.
