Hi and greetings from Finland.
Does anyone have in use/friends use, in museum or just some info of Köping S7C Metal lathe?
Im about to buy one, that havent been used in couple decade. Some parts has been removed from it so it need some rebuilding but its okay, as it has been sitting so long it will need some care anyway. Im prettu sure that there are parts broken and missing too, id be more than happy from any info.
Some basic electronics and bearings are easy ones, but like gearing ratio for different threading (if there is gears missing) and for cross-feed leadscrew & gearing if those are missing too. Bronze bushing for power feed are probably really worn, and leadscrews might have corrosion/rust on it so those need restoration or new ones. Pitch of those would be really usefull to know too.
Pictures are always good, those shows how things should be aligned etc.
Lets start talking, share your info!
