Hi All,


I've dusted off a lathe that has been in my garage for a number of years and am hoping the forum can help me to understand a bit more about the Hercus lathes. I'm interested to know how old it is and if it is a standard model etc.

I can see that it is a Hercus 9 Model C ( machine number 3589). It also has C9819 stamped on the bed (hopefully right terminology?). I fired the lathe up today and it turns which was a surprise as it looks like it has been idle for many years.

I've attached a few photos of the lathe and parts. Thanks in advance for any replies!
