9 inch Junior SBL

[BBQHOG]

The lathe I bought without real close inspection, because the price was right, turned out to be a Junior that was shipped to my old high school in 1939. Lathe is running and in overall pretty good shape. I have found 4 teeth missing in the bull gear, one tooth in 4 different places and one tooth missing in the quill gear. It needs belts and a lot of degreasing and cosmetic work. Are these gears hard fixes and are there any manuals with specs and such? Any help from you guys on parts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

I would check with the Southbend Users group on Yahoo. Don't know much about the junior
