Afraid not...
... I need to find a second-shaft gear for mine. Noticed while changing the oil that one gear is badly worn.

mine makes AWFUL noises when its running, especially in top gear, but then it did only cost me £100 delivered 6 years ago so can't
complain!!!
one day will get a squarehead master and live it up a bit!!!

I rarely ruin mine in top gear - as you say, it does make a racket, which is not so good in a domestic garage!

Update for NS Dev
Just been talking to Colchester Lathe Spares regarding the gear - they have a Colchester Master in stock,
roughly the same vintage, so they're checking out the condition of the headstock gears for me.
They may well have a suitable 4-way chuck for you... just pray that it wasn't the one that was on the Master when someone lost concentration,
and drove the topslide into the rotating chuck!

Am I being greedy 'cos I bought another lathe today?
Not long ago I got a 10" bench-mount Atlas and was very happy. After searching the 'net and Ebay I found that the only place to get bits
in regular supply was the States, it being an American made machine. Then the other day another one came up on Ebay.
Hadn't been repainted like mine, didn't have a chuck but, it had a set of changewheels, a threading position indicator, a pulley
for the motor, a rack for the manual saddle traverse, a Dewhurst reversing switch and the cast metal stand which was an optional extra when new. All
of these bits are missing from my first one and I figured by the time I'd collected them all I'dve spent more than the £128 that this one
cost me, and I may be able to sell some of the bits I'm unlikely to use.
All I've got to do is convince SWMBO it was a good idea
