I have what you want but last time you didn't by anything so much for that
 
Any idea what the foot control sold for?

Just looked, I have the catalog for the lathe from 1994. Lol
Price for the steady rest is there but no price listed for the foot pedal. It went with the lathe.

Thank you but I have one. Don't really care if I sell it. Mike's an ok kid that I don't mind helping out. Curious what it's worth. The steady rest sold for $125 in 1994.
 
I thought Muellers had Porpers inventory of parts. Has anyone had any luck with them? As a side note I like how the steady rest works on the Porper so I adapted it to one of my metal lathes. I reverse engineered the one I had and created a cad model of the various parts. I was going to do a batch of parts on the cnc. Does anyone know if there would be any patent right infringements to selling parts for these machines?

So far Meullers web site only list the 3 centers. Parts inventory from Joe's shop to there's hasn't been released to my knowledge but I'm not one of thier customers so I don't know.
As far as Joe Porper. I don't know if he ever tried to put patent on anything. He kept things to himself pretty much with the exception of selling his products. Certain things were never released. Wiring schematic for one. He wanted to control it as much as he could so the machine didn't get copied.

I would be happy buying parts for these machines when needed but if they are no longer supported then the alternative is to make them. So if I am going to set up to make certain parts then may as well make a batch. I would keep a few parts for myself and then sell the rest to pay for the time I have invested. I have two model B's one is the real early model with no carriage and one later model.

No carriage is the model A. The early B models had a solid brass block opposite the feed screw gear. The idler gear spring pressured was my design that replaced the block. I've had calls from a few looking for the brass gear if that's helps in your planning.
 
I messaged Juan and he sold the items,

A price was never stated, so, If Michael would like to sell, let me know what you would like for it,

Muellers, used to have the foot controller on the parts list and I think the price was, $70.00 for the foot controller. I never saw the steady rest for the 1 piece bar cues, listed on muellers price list.



thanks

mike

No longer available. Figured you didn't want it seeing you didn't return the CALLS.
 
I have a shop made roller bearing setup that would be an upgrade over the Porper version. Just mount it to your bench and you're good to go. PM if you want pictures. $20 plus shipping will be in a large flat rate box.

For the foot pedal, just make your own
 
Hey mike,

My phone has been down all weekend, But, I tried to contact you directly on the AZ but you dont have a PM available on your account.

I definitely was not ignoring you.

I had to contact Juan First to try to find out a price and then he stated he sold his, that is when I posted back on this listing to let you know.

I still dont have phone until I replace mine probably on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.

respectfully

Hi Mr Webb, do you have the brass gears??
 
I just received a model B and it's missing a few parts, the brass gears look really rough....I'm also looking for the tool block and the router assembly...thx for your time, if you're still here...
Not sure if this is the gear that you're looking for, it was with a bunch of stuff I bought from a guy who bought out a cue maker several years ago. He said he already sold the porper lathe so I assume this gear and the foot pedal go to a porper not sure what model.
If it looks like what you need PM me an offer and I'll sell it.

The only thing I have is the foot pedal. Don't know how to test it because I don't have anything that the plug fits. I forgot to add the picture I took with the last post.
If you want it PM me with an offer please.
