I couldn't figure out why I'm seeing videos about lathes. I had just Google searched a lathe I acquired. Mine's got to be from the 50s and all one piece so I'm just missing the motor right now.

I have a G. Boley watchmakers lathe. Someone is telling me that the head stock and tail stock are supposed to have serial numbers that match the main stock. He is saying that the lathe won't be on center if the serial numbers don't match. There is nothing stamped on the head stock or tail stock. Is this a myth? Thanks -

My clock is 180° off in the chime. If it's 12:00 it chimes six times. If it's 6:00 it chimes 12 times. If it's 5:00 it chimes 11 times. If it's 11:00 at chimes 5 times etc. How can I fix that?
