Hi Carole,
A while back we talked about an adapter to go from 1-1/4" x 8 thread (DVR) to 1" x 8 thread Jet and Delta Mini/Midi lathes. Penn State never got these in stock and I've pretty much forgotten about it. (I do that a lot!)
Saw this in rec.crafts.woodturning today written by Bill Noble:

I've made a few of these now, I think I've got the pattern down, I just haven't bothered to add it as an offering on my web yet - see
formatting link
- you can contact me off the list - I can make the adapters to 1X8 or 1.25X8 for $15.

This is the guy who made the face plate I sent you. Thought you might be interested.
