after a lot of searching and messages all over to differing groups on the internet, I was suprised to find an advert in a magazine a Variturn1642 lathe from a company in Warrington. I phoned and enquired about second hand parts for the Harrison Jubilee.
Not only were they able to supply the outside bed and rest they were polite and efficient, and didn't mind when my wife collected the parts two weeks later and was a couple of hours later than promised ( my fault!).
Well worth giving a try , I think, I'm even tempted by the new lathe! details as follows :
