Denford TDS1/1GB Part Wanted

[preston]

I have recently purchased one of these. It is missing the label on the top of the headstock,(the one above the backgear lever). If anyone has a scrap machine, I would be interested in buying a replacement label.

Can you describe it ? or post a picture

I have recently seen quite a few old, screen printed, aluminium plates which could be of that vintage - some had gear ratio selector charts on them.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. The missing label is the Denford makers label at the top of the headstock. I've copied a picture of this from the members projects section.

Many Thanks,
Preston.

Ok - I'll have a look on Tuesday

Hi - this is all I could find - looks like it was a batch of faulty ones as the Limited has been painted out.

I'm told the original blue ones were used as shims in later years !

Hello again. Thanks for taking the trouble to find the label and send me a picture. Although its a more modern version, it should look good on the lathe. My address is - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.. Please let me know if you'd like a sae, and or something for it. Regards, John.

OK - I thought the hole centres looked about the same

PS, I have blanked your address for security (there are all kinds of weirdos on the internet)

Hi there, just a note to say the label arrived yesterday (Saturday). It fits very well, the fixing holes being almost on the same centres as the original. I cleaned the surface with meths, then stuck on the label with double sided tape! The original was fixed with round head rivets, three ofwhich had sheared off. I'll post a picture when I can find the camara. It looks so much better with a makers label, thanks for taking the trouble to find it and send it to me.
Regards, John.
