SEARCH FOR ATLAS LATHE PARTS...

Searching for "Atlas" 6 inch lathe parts for a table-top machine of about 35 years of age. Obtaining the needed parts is essential to my defeating the "Good Ole Boy", "Military-industrial complex", "Profit-Motivated" system. Currently, I have multiple projects, ideas going which require the use of this equipment to develop. Would appreciate any and all help y'all could render to get me in operation...
