I think you may have to give people just a little bit more information, such as make of said wood lathe, age, what does the tail stock look like (ie a picture perhaps?)

Picture
Thanks big_shed.. was only first ever post.. New to all this. Hope the picture helps.. The lathe is second hand but still fairly new.
I am looking for a replacement tailstock for my lathe as the old cast iron one broke. Pref. a place in adelaide. Either that or a way of fixing the old one.

Because those lathes have a poor resale value, many owners convert them into faceplate sanders when they move on to bigger & better lathes. I did... and I should still have the tailstock rattling around somewhere but, frankly, I've no idea where it'd be.
Hopefully someone closer to Adelaide will have done the same and can spare you their tailstock...
(Or you could buy an MC900 and do the same conversion yourself.

Absolutely the best thing to do with those horrible little beasts.

Hi Zeddy19
I can send you the tailstock without threaded rod or live centre. PM your details and I will post it to you.
Cheers
