Hello /diy/
This might be more of a request than a thread for advice.
I got a Victor 1140B lathe machine for free (previous owner was going to disassemble it and sell it for scrap).
All the electromechanical aspects are in good condition, the only thing that it is lacking is the tool holder and the wiring for the auto settings.
Do any of you by any chance have any manuals or electric diagrams regardng this machine?
also lathe/milling general I guess.

My bad.

Phase II makes toolholder setups in a few different sizes, in piston or wedge... the wedge types are generally a bit more solid than the pistons.
I can't help much with the wiring issue.
you might check the bed/ways first before spending money or much time on it tho. it may just be scrap....

I got nothing to contribute, but nice trips.

what does "auto setting" even mean?

My bad, english isn't my first language.
Meant the auto setting where you can let the bed travel a certain distance by itself instead of using the levers to move it along the piece at a certain speed to make tapers and threads and what not.
Basically it only turns on and spins clockwise. I might need to disassemble it to check if all the speed gears are in order, aside from the control wiring being fucked up.

it would be usefull if you were to supply an actual picture of the machine.

They are still a running bussiness, why don't you shoot a mail to em? It sounds like a good idea, and it would be good for you to have it... I'm sure you can work something out with their comercial department and send you a repair manual.
