je viens de m'apercevoir en demontant le mandrin que c'est exactement la même , ouf!
par contre je viens de casser le selecteur de vitesse , c'est une fourche en zamac et c'est honteux de mettre une piéce aussi fragile !! bref j'suis pas dans la mer..
However, none of the assemblies can take foolish handling, and trying to move the selector levers before the shafts have completely stopped leads to the main-spindle fibre gear being eaten away on one side and the eventual failure of the two lightly-constructed alloy selector forks - and it is not unknown for these to also fail with age and fatigue. Hence, it's a good idea (and especially before buying one of these lathes) to remove the four screws securing the headstock cover plate and take a good look inside. Cracks in the selectors are hard to see, but a magnifying glass will often reveal them. If the a fork does break, and drop into the headstock, it will wreck two or more pairs of gears. New forks, in bronze, are available - though as they are made in batches might not always be in stock (email for details).
