Regarding the M300 part situation, I have heard that this is the case, in the U.S. at least. There seems to be a good source of used parts from the UK. I've found this the be the case for a lot of machine tools, I paid as much for a follower rest as I did for an entire Sheldon lathe with collets, closer, chucks, etc. I have actually never even used the follower rest.
The Harrisons that I'm looking at are not projects though. I need an operational machine for work and I am willing to pay for it, so hopefully I can avoid any serious issues in sourcing parts. I also can't find too many alternatives that meet my needs and which are readily available. Another option is a 13" Romi and apparently the part situation is even worse.
Regarding the Do-all branded lathes, I have been looking for those as well. They sold both Harrisons and Romis, I would consider either but the Harrison probably makes more sense.
Thanks,
Mike
