Enterprise L or Clausing Colchester Lathe - Compound, Steady Rest needed

[keeena]

Shot in the dark, but I'll throw it out there. I'm looking for the following bits for an Enterprise L lathe, model EL2:

• Compound* (the bottom slide is what I need most; would buy the whole assembly)
• Oil sight glass for headstock
• Tailstock handwheel
• Steady rest
• Follow rest

I might also generally be interested in other parts.

*[Update] - It looks like the Clausing Colchester 13" / 15" compound of the same vintage (mid 70's-ish to possibly) is very similar to the Enterprise's compound. So I'd be interested in these compounds as well. I'll attach some pictures of what I have and the Clausing's compounds for reference shortly.

Oh-Oh. Compound has problems? -Drat!

I knew this when I bought it. There's a chunk missing from the corner of the bottom slide. It looks like the top slide was adjusted back relative to the bottom slide, so the bottom slide took a direct whack; maybe a 3/4" triangle chunked out. Looks to be the only notable physical damage on this thing. Hopefully a relatively minor concern; the compound still works fine and I think I could adapt a compound from another lathe relatively easily. But my OCD means I'd like an OEM replacement if possible.

I updated the first post & title because I believe a Clausing Colchester compound may also meet my needs. I don't have measurements of the Clausing bits but they appear very similar in terms of how they mount to the cross-slide (particularly the Clausing 13"). I do not know what year/s these Clausing compounds are from. If anyone has measurements of their Colchester Compound mounting dimensions, I'd love to know!

The Enterprise L compound bottom-slide has the following mounting dimensions:

• there is a center bore of 20mm (the cross slide has a 20mm post which the compound sits on)
• the bolt hole center-to-center is 100mm
