Hello everyone
I have recently purchased fP1 I think around 1968 machine, speed change levers not dials
The machine itself is a bit tired so I am looking to restore it to its former glory, I have stripped the machine down and am now looking to try to order some new items gaskets seals and drive belt
I removed the headstock from the machine which is full of grease around the horizontal milling spindle which I thought was odd, so upon the removal of the headstock I saw there is a rectangular aluminium guide that looks as though it holds to seals or fibre gaskets, I assume that this allows the headstock to move then scraping off excess oil by the seals, anyway they look rather worn and so would like to replace them
I have the lower speed vertical head, and that's it I have not horizontal overarm support or any other of the accessories but I would very much like to get hold of some
My question is does anyone know where I may be able to locate any parts and accessories for this machine I did find a contact in Germany although they did reply to some emails they have since gone quiet I am willing to pay for shipping to the UK
Thanks
Nathan
