    Default Thanks Kev in Katherine for Lathe Info



    G'day Kev , Thanks for that Info on my Brittania Lathe . I said it was a
    Model 13 but after looking at your link I now know it is a Model 14 !!!
    How did I miss that !
    I've been talking to Tony @ Lathes for years . Just recently I promised to
    send him some pics of my Brittania Lathe .
    That Firm was interesting because they never fully describe the new mods to
    their Lathes until a batch was completed ! They must have sent a parts
    list with each Sale .
    Anyhow I'm grateful to you for the Info . I would really like to hear from an
    Owner of one of these Model 14 Brittania Lathes .
    Really a long shot , I know but I can only hope , hey
    Best Regards to All on this Forum

    Default U Tube Brittania Lathe



    Thanks Quasimodo , That's my Lathe alright . Now I think that it is a
    No. 13 & 1/2 . The Tailstock is the same But small differences in the
    Headstock .
    Does it say who owns the Lathe on utube ?
    Thanks for the tip !
    Much Appreciated .
    B est Regards from Ken Weekes in Mackay , Qld.
