Since this lathe came with an old style toolpost, a little searching turned up a decent upgrade.  An Aloris style quick change tool post, but an imported Phase II.  It was on sale at Enco.  Coupled with a one day 25% VIP sale with free shipping, a no-brainer.

Also found on EBay, a replacement cover with an intact original brass lubrication plate for less than a reproduction plate.

Plus, a cast knob to replace a missing one on the base front door.
