I recently bought an old Brodhead-Garrett J-line J170 and then realized it has an odd spindle size- 1-1/8 x 8tpi and I can't even find an adapter for it. Any info, ideas or does anyone have equipment to fit they'd be willing to part with.

Hopefully you can find someone with a few extras, but if not,
I've bought a few things from this guy over the years, quality stuff...
Faceplates
And under special order, spindle adapters

This is perfect. really helpful! Thanks so much, Dave
I've seen 1 1/8X8 adapters and faceplates at our high school, which were used on lathes no longer present. Maybe an Oliver. Don't give up your search, you may just not have tried the right place. Nova has an adapter for their chucks, for example: https://www.teknatool.com/products/...huck-insertadaptor-1-18-8tpi-unc-rh-sku-i7ns/
