Flexispeed fixed steady

[Geoff MathewsParticipant @geoffmathews47505]

I am still looking for an original fixed steady for my Meteor II lathe.

All I have found is a picture of one in Australia – so I know such things exist.

I would be grateful for any thoughts on how to locate any original accessories for this lathe from this period.

Might just be a bit quicker to make one or modify one from a mini lathe. At least you could get on and use it, rather than waiting a long time for unobtanium to turn up. Not a difficult project.

Thanks Andrew – I am making one – I would also like to collect a range of original accessories just for fun.

This is the previous thread on the topic – **LINK** Generally it is better just to continue your previous thread to keep it all together.

Perhaps if you have the link for the picture in Australia you could post it here so we can see what it looks like. You never know somowne might have one and not know what it is until they see the photo.

I have a couple of images that I would like to post here – how is that done?
