Joe, at least there is a contact. I know what you mean, I find lately too much of the fortnight left at the end of the money.
You will have all these toys that need reconditioning. Excellent work on them by the way.

I may be able to help.. I will have a look at my used chucks .... Mike

I copied out a couple of MEW articles about making up chuck jaws - PM me if you want a copy as it may be a way around the problem.

Ive had a look and I cannot find one ATM , but stand by Mike

Thanks Michael and Mike! PM sent to Michael. Awaiting in anticipation of Mike's search results

he might sell the 3 jaw on its own

Hi everyone.
I have just spoken to the George on Gumtree advertising the two chucks and faceplate that Mike pointed me to.
He is prepared to take $200 for the lot.
Is anyone interested in going halves with me who has a use for the 10" 4-jaw and 12" faceplate?
George is having a look tomorrow to find the brands of the two chucks. He can remember his (hobby machinist) father buying them new, so they haven't been flogged out by dozens of apprentices....
Each half of the deal would be a very reasonable buy I think.
Please let me know - here or by PM.

If that 4 jaw was purchased new it was sometime between WW1 and WW2 IMO.

Just looking at it in the poor picture I see rounded over surfaces and a patina of age (or rust/dirt cleaned off & oiled). I use a better 4 jaw on my welding table.

Face plate, ditto.

Well, I asked about general and more specific ally jaw conditionand he told me that there is a little surface rust but structurally and mechanically they were in perfect condition. In the crappy photo I can't see any marks on any visible jaw faces. I guess soemone would need to go have a look at them to confirm I'm not being fed bulldust of course....
You wouldn't be volunteering Peter, would you? George is in Blacktown.... no idea where the chucks are though...

This may be OK

Yeah, been looking at that one too. Still naval gazing... had an offer of some external jaws if they fit from one of our readers 'Matt' and trying to figure out how to measure what I need and compare that with photos - to see if they get close....
