Title says it all, my 14 1/2 lathe is unfortunately missing the plate that displays all the feeds and threading information. My cursory research so far has shown some reproductions of 9 and 10 heavy plates but those will be 2 small. My lathe came with a 2 tumbler gearbox which complicates things further as it seems the larger lathe's may have reproductions of the single tumbler gearbox plates. If anyone has any information on where one might be able to find one that would be superbly helpful.

Yes I thought I would duplicate the post in this sub forum as extropic suggested in the other thread. I have emailed Ted but I figured while I wait for a response having a post here for people who might know something to see.

That's not necessary with this forum's software. Hitting "NEW POSTS" brings up all new posts from all the sub-forums.

Everyone may not hit "NEW POSTS". I hardly ever do. Someone with pertinent information regarding a South Bend lathe may only watch the South Bend machine specific forum. Posting machine specific questions in a machine specific forum is always a good idea.
My strategy had been to email the people who sell stuff for the double-tumbler box to ask about stuff for my single-tumbler box, but that probably works in reverse, too.
