Dimensions of 45 idler wheel for ROK Challenger/Imperial
Does anyone here know the dimensions of a 45 rpm idler wheel for a Rek-o-Kut Challenger? I had been looking to buy one but I’ve had no luck finding it, so now I’m shifting my aim to fabricating one if I’m able to find the dimensions. (Though if someone here DOES have one for sale, I’d happily forget...

I know this is an ancient thread, but if the op sees this, is there any chance we could get a reuplad? Apparently Photobucket stopped hosting these pics..

Re: Looking to buy a mono cutterhead (also, how much should I expect to pay?)
The Rek-o-Kut came with the lay-down head, so I’m preparing to make a bunch of modifications in order to accommodate an upgraded head. I was already planning to do the dashpot/counterweight mod and a hand crank mod. I know that at one point in time, Jed was selling kits for these mods, and I’ve been...

Re: Looking to buy a mono cutterhead (also, how much should I expect to pay?)
I’m not necessarily ruling out a stereo head, I just assumed that with mono heads being close to unobtainable, a stereo head will be that much worse. Also, my lathe is not currently set up with heat and suction, which I’ve heard is necessary for stereo heads. (Maybe not all of them? I’m unsure about...

Looking to buy a mono cutterhead (also, how much should I expect to pay?)
Hello, I’m searching for a mono cutterhead. Something like a Presto 1-C or 1-D would be lovely. It would be great to find one that won’t need to be immediately rebuilt but I’m not expecting a guarantee from the seller, as I know that all available options are older than my grandmother. For an incred...

Rek-o-kut Challenger Manual: Myth?
I’ve been scouring lathe trolls and the wider internet for a manual for my Rek-o-Kut TR-12 Challenger, but I haven’t found it anywhere. I’ve seen people claim that they own a copy, I’ve even seen people multiple claim that they plan to post a copy online imminently, right before they stopped posting...

Re: Rek-O-Kut Challenger and RIAA demands?
A print copy of the Rek o kut Challenger manual? I was starting to believe that it was a myth! Is there any chance I could get a pdf copy?

Re: SCAM: Rek-o-kut Challenger Lathe Presto Cutter
If anyone sees my post here and knows what the scam is, could you fill me in? This is at least the third time that this post has popped up in my search results, and every time I see it I wonder what the problem is. I have a very similar lathe, so I’d really like to know if there’s some kind of commo...

WTB: 12 or 16 inch overhead
The title says it all. I’m looking for a reasonably priced overhead for a lathe build. I’d prefer a 16 inch overhead, but I’ll take what I can get. You can pm on here or email me at tipiumgrove@gmail.com . Thanks for taking the time to look.

I’m in Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, USA and I’d really love to avoid shipping if possible, but I’m willing to pay to have it shipped properly and safely. Thanks fo...
