You didnt mention wood or metal lathe, but I'm assuming metal lathe. The craftsman lathe is most likely built by Atlas, eReplacementParts.com is a place to check, also MyMachineShop.net is a place to check for parts. What are you looking for specifically & I might be able to locate parts.

garagejournal.com forums are great for this stuff.. Quite a few people discussing, using, and restoring old craftsman atlas machines and all sorts of vintage tools and machines from vices to lathes and drill presses..

You would be amazed at how many obsolete and antique parts can be found both NOS and used on eBay. Its worth checking.

update, i dove into to it, it had stripped treads on one of the spindle on a feed gear.cool i was able to get a nut on the back side, one of the feed gear needed a lot of adjustment and one of the belts had a piece missing ,fixed those things.so its back up running, but i still plan on restoring it later, thanks guys so much for all the help and infor. brad
