Hello friends! I just acquired a Sharp VO-A2F turret mill. I found the manual that is available here and grabbed that but it’s fairly limited.
Briefly: I found this machine locally at a price I couldn’t pass up. It wasn’t until I went to collect it that I realized it’s missing all the dials (except the knee) and all the hand wheels/cranks/handles.
I decided it might be cheaper to just buy a dro rather than try to locate the dials and I can build the rest.
So my questions are regarding the head, or a source for a more substantial manual. I’ll attach a photo, if you look at the left side of the head… is this location where a quill power feed would mount? Also, the fine feed for the quill isn’t engaging to anything in the head. Anyone here own one of these that could give me some pointers? If anyone knows a source for the dials I’d love to have them in advance.

Congrats on your new mill, looked like a good deal!
