Hi Steve, You were smart in getting all the parts you can.
What size spindle motor is on your lathe? Is that a 10 hp unit. Do you happen to know the spindle rpm range? Is that wired for 480 or 230 3 phase? I would not scrap that lathe... I think you can sell it considering the price range you are in. How many turret tool holders do you have roughly?
