I bought a nova 1624 right before the COVID hit and on my second or third turning, the cast iron tail stock lock plate broke in half and fell on the floor.
I went to novas site to buy a replacement and they’re sold out. Contacted customer support, yup sold out and no clue when they’ll be in stock again.
tried buying a 2.5” “universal” one from lee valley. That works but only in between bed supports since it’s too thick. None on eBay or anywhere else I can find.

Thus I have been turning with no tail stock since I don’t really have another option I’ll accept.
Anyone know where I could get one somewhere?? I’m bewildered.
