carba-tec HM-1V - missing Banjo!

[pesto126]

Hi.. so just thinking of getting back into pen turning again and found my old Carba-tec lathe in the garage... but - I can't find the banjo which must be lost now... curious if anyone know where I can get a replacement for this lathe? I know it is not a great lathe (was good at the time when pen turning was in its infancy when I bought it 15 years ago) - but I figured I'd like to use it if I can rather than spending money on a lathe..

Thanks for the advice!

Ask Carba-tec to see if they have a parts supplier / dealer on this continent or what one would cost to have sent from Australia.

Forgot to add. Welcome to the forum.

You may want to contact Johnnycnc on this forum, he makes some great replacements.

Thanks.. sent an email to carba-tec - will see if/what response I get.. might be cheaper to just buy the used Delta Midi I found on CraigsList - person is willing to sell to me for $100... never been used!
