I might have a flat belt countershaft from a Zyto in storage somewhere but will not be able to get to it until after new year. Message me your email and I will find it asap and send you the details. I also have some odd gears I believe came from the same machine but it will take some digging to find them.

Hello Paul,

I'm pretty sure the standard Myford change gears will suit, I don't know about the bore diameter or linking detail but suspect the Zyto equipment was mostly a crib from the Myford ML 2-4 series. For reference the Myford gears are 20 DP with a pressure angle of 14.5 degrees [as they mostly were in those days] with bore diameter of 0.625 inches. Linking was by a small diameter pin in the hub, today there is a 1/8 inch wide keyway cut in the bore, but plenty of room for a pin nearby.

From about April next year I will have either a Crompton or a good Gryphon 1/2 HP single phase motor 1425 rpm motor surplus for purchase, send me a PM if you are interested.

Regards

Brian

Sorry Brian, Don't fancy modifying an origional item. Call it my OCD but i prefer to keep it standard. Im planing a cheep and nasty chineese faceplate and modify it if i cant find an origional.
