Help Needed... I'm Rebuilding A 12" Commercial

[BillyT]

Parts I'm looking for are:
- cabinet door
- cabinet left side cover
- belt tighting lever (i did find one but way to much $$)
- spindle cover (not same as tabletop version)

information I desperately seek:
- Mine is gold colored. Why?
- all the wrong pulleys, if anybody has this lathe could you please send me pictures of the pulleys.

Any info at all that you have will be useful.
Thank you

Post a photo of the pulleys that you have.

Sears had their machines painted gold back in the 50's,I think. I have seen several of them still around. Especially drill presses. Unfortunately their old catalogs are only in black and white.
