Well the slippery slope didn't take long to appear.

I'm able to obtain a DSL 1340GH lathe close to home and well priced. The automatic feed shaft is missing and the current owner says it has been like that since he owned it. Does anybody here know if the part would be available? Any ideas what may have been a reason to remove it in the first place, ie; possible damage or just choice (ex TAFE machine apparently)? Anything that may prevent it from being easily replaced if available.

Any comments on these machines from your own experience or here say is welcomed.
