G'day, all
Ihave just got hold of an original (i think) Coronet lathe.It is peppermint green in colour and coated with a type of stucco over the headstock which has started to crack and fall off.Would anybody know what it actually is and could i use a panel beaters type bodyfiller to fill and repair it.It is about 3mm thick.As i said i only got it today off my dad who has had it for probably 10 or 15 years from an old deceased cabinetmakers estate and it was one of those i'm gonna do jobs that never was done.The old girl hums and runs as good as the day it was made and is very heavy.It has a coronet name plate on the front and looks like it had another down towards the bottom but it has probably fallen off a long time ago.The motor sits on the back of the headstock and slides into it on 2 round bars which act as pulley tensioners.Searching the net has turned up very little and what i have found is very similar but the headstock is a different shape and the colour is a darker green and was made around the1940s.What i was looking for was maybe a copy of a manual or any information i could get on the one i have.As yet i haven't been able to locate any serial numbers or model numbers.Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
