Pamola Fly Lathe / Information / Owner's manual

[Fishin' Jimmy]

I just obtained a used Pamola Fly Lathe, it came with no information. I have more or less figured things out as to the operation and use. But I would like to make sure I have not missed anything!

Thanks for any information anyone can share, I will gladly pay any copying or mailing costs.

Hi Jimmy,
You might visit the Pamola website as many companies sometimes include manuals downloads for each of their products.
Another source might be calling a few flyshops that carry that particular vise. If they sell them, then they must
have a manual on file to help identify parts, accessories, trouble shooting tips etc. or at least be able to provide you with contact
info forthe Pamola customer service department. Hope this helps.

I copied the following info from iflyshop.com

Probably old data but give it a try on Monday.

I thought these were discontinued like 20 years ago. Is the company even still in business?

Try asking over on flytyingforum also.

Bruce [Brewster] Newton closed the Pamola doors way back in the 80's?
what you have is a vintage tool and a piece of tying history?
I take mine for a ride every now and then?
similar [in some ways] to the old Hunter vises and the HMH?
Enjoy your "Classic"!
