Tyne Cub lathe issue

[John Thorogood]

Hi, I help run Knighton Mens Shed a charitable organisation to combat isolation issues for men. We have had a Tyme Cub lathe donated to us but We have no chuck or spindle to attach a chuck to. Can anyone help with advice as to what We need and how to obtain it please?
Kind regards
John

Not familiar with that lathe but do you have a picture of the headstock so that we can see what you are looking at as it seems strange not to have a spindle

Bible on all things lathe (also has nice photos) - says 2mm x 20 or 3/4" x 16 tpi

3/4"x16 is the standard for the Cub & Avon, but don't assume that it is.
My Cub is 1"x8 with 2MT in both head & tailstocks. I got mine from the original owner, who told me he was offered upgrades when he ordered it.

Photos? If it actually has no spindle you'd just as well bin it.
