I recently purchased a used Southbend 9A lathe (1954) and am in the process of restoring it. The right tumbler lever on the gearbox is broken. I am guessing that something heavy was dropped on it. The casting just in front of the retractable knob is cracked through and the pin is bent. I found a left hand lever for sale. I would like to purchase it, but it is very specifically marked as a left-hand tumbler lever. Aren't the right- and left-hand levers...
