Thanks for the welcome guys! I was in the shop making the last piece needed for my belt drive conversion for my X2. The small pulley. I had machinist block trying to chuck the piece. (only 1/8" to grab).


After an hour! I threaded a rod and clamped it with bolts through the spindle bore.
Pics. Hummm. Well it seems I'm short on the pics but I'll give you what I have.
Here is my lathe while building the Eagle. When I started this there was little info on the model and I needed info for the build so the page was used to gather and share what I needed. I've made many friends through it and learned alot.
Lathe:

Here are a few pics of an original screen used VOX that was used in Galaxy Quest:
It was broken, gutted of electronics and needed a paint repair. I replaced the electronics with the exact components and used the same paint for the repair.
I'm searching for pics of the finished models and other props I've repaired or built. Why is it that the pics you want are so hard to find but the ones that are useless are copied over and over on every disk?
I'll post more when I locate them.
