I recently acquired a well used but usable DV-59.
It can with a decent amount of (also well used) tooling, but much of it was disassembled and I am trying to get all the parts together so I can get it running.
I have 2 questions (so far):
1. I am combining two parts collet closers to make one useable one, and I cannot find the tiny key that locks the position of the bearing assembly on the drawtube.Before I make one, is there a reason why this might have been removed? For instance, is it easier to adjust without it or something?

2. The lathe came with this bed mounted vertical cut-off slide (or at least that is what I think it is), but it is missing the piece(s) that would hold the actual cut-off tool. None of the places I have looked even show a picture of this type of thing, they only have the nose mounted version. I can probably figure something out, but if anyone has one of these and could take some quick pictures/measurements of what it's supposed to be I would appreciate it!
