1/3/2023 0 Comments Atlas lathe forum![]() ![]() It looks like you have done a lot of things. Trying to get by, and learn a little about my lathe. The last several years I worked for a (now defunct) Motorola dealer, installing radio/ telco paging/ comm/ gear on mountaintops, towers, and in E911 dispatch centers. I spent 15 yrs selling auto/truck parts, hardware, and logging supplies, then about 12 servicing HVAC and refrigeration. In a former life, I spent 6 yrs in the US Navy, as an electronics tech, maintaining GCA (Ground Controlled Approach, or "PAR" Precision Approach Radar.) This was at NAS Miramar, and also where I spent many hours behind the wheel of my 69 383 Plymouth Roadrunner, later the mighty 440 six pack '70 Roadrunner, as well as a 426 powered '64 Dodge. I'm aging before my time, at 59 I already have some rather irritating osteo problems. I've recently gotten a little Atlas 12" lathe, added a gearbox, and found one of these evidently rare "production cross slides" which was actually for a 10" lathe: I'd started this thread "over there" and someone suggested I search around at this forum. ![]()
