Hello everyone-
I recently purchased an old lathe and was looking for some guidance from any of the woodturners/equipment restorers on this great forum.
So far, I've found out that the lathe is an old Dunlap 103-0603, probably made for Sears. This is a picture of an 1941 catalog showing a similar unit(i.e. 103-0602 instead of 103-0603).
The lathe has no motor and it has a sharpening stone installed on the headstock. It came with the pulley mounts for the motor and the tool rest assembly. There is a high probability that the tail stock is a dead end, which I believe means that the pin that holds the right side of the wood does not spin. I have an old 1/3HP motor I believe is similar to the original motor the unit would have used.
Anyone else has restored one of these before?
Ideas for the head and tail stock and potential upgrades are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Here are some pics.
