Another Machine inspection required, near Newcastle
Hi Guys,
As i said in RC's thread i am looking at a machine on the Central Coast. If there is a member near Newcastle that could have a look at a machine for me and take a few photo's that would be great. The owner does not have a digital camera so photo's have been an issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi Ewan,
If no one else comes forward i could take some pics for you. I am not a metal worker so i would not give opinions as to the state of the machine.
I am located on the North end of the Central Coast ( South of Newcastle )
Where is the machine located?
Cheers
Denis
Just read the other post. Central Coast is not the Mid North Coast

Well now i need to find even more space....
Its a Holbrook Model C no.10. 10"x20" "toolroom" lathe. TTA, quick retract cross slide, micrometer saddle and cross slide automatic stops etc. No single tooth dog clutch though. 60 position QCGB, Mod and DP cutting with change gears. Probably late 40's or early 50's vintage.

Nice. Better send Tony some pictures once you get it cleaned up; I can't find your model there.
The only C model he has is the C8 with DC drive. What kind of drive is yours?

Hi Bryan, i have tried to contact Tony on several occasions but he has never replied to me.
The drive is a 3 speed (2,4 and 6 pole) 3 phase motor, 2 speed double multi plate clutch gearbox (the gears are always engaged, and neutral position also operates the brake) then a flat belt drive to the head which has a helical back gear running in an oil bath. Plain bearing spindle with 12 speeds from 23-2000rpm.
You saw the add then...Yes i put a wanted add on gumtree, not really expecting anything to come of it. I nearly fell over when i had a reply, and it was almost the perfect lathe. I'd really like a roller bearing (Gamet) version of the same machine, as they have a 3000rpm top speed. Since they are pretty hard to come by though i'm not going to push my luck waiting for one!
The base on this one is actually aluminium, they made some like this after WW2 when there was lots of scrap aluminium lying around in the form of shot down planes. Despite the ally base it still weighs over a ton.

After yesterdays 920km round trip i now have the lathe in the shed. It is heavier than i was expecting, even with the ally base its probably north of 1200kg.
It seems to be in good condition mostly, the oil in it is all clean, its just been sitting in a pigeon infested shed for a long time and needs a good clean.
