Subject: Lathe spart parts for sale or trade

Along with my 9" SB came several bits and pieces that clearly
don't belong and unfortunately don't fit. I'm ready to trade
them to a commercial outfit, but they'll give me less than
I might get by selling to someone who wants them (and
ultimately charge that person more than I would).

I've got a face plate, follower rest and steady rest, and some
change gears. They're in generally good shape, painted a 
grayish light blue. There's some guess that they might be from
a Logan (the seller had also had and sold a Logan and thought
these were left over from that). They're all in very good condition.

The details:

Face plate: 8.5" diameter, threaded 1 1/2-8. 8 slots with
ribbed back. Has "9-365" cast into it.
(This fits my spindle, but the edge of the plate interferes
with a foot at the end of the headstock; I contemplated milling
off the edge, but it seems like sacrilege.)

Follower rest: Plain jaws (one missing) with bolt adjusters.
Cast ID is "S209". Sorry, I didn't measure the mounting holes. 

Steady rest: Bolt adjusters, no jaws. Cast ID is "L3-326". 
Space between the ways is 3"; the forward way is flat, and the
rear looks to be a small half-round (this *should* identify it;
I can't imagine that there are many lathes with round ways).

Change gears: random sampling up to 72 teeth, 12 pitch, 5/8 bore with key.

All reasonable offers considered.

Chris,

FWIW, those are not Logan Parts.  Or at least they weren't made by
either Logan Engineering or Logan Actuator.  The numbers you listed are
all wrong, and none of the Logan Lathes used 12DP change gears.
