Unfortunately I do not know the Swedish language. That is the reason why I used here Google to translate my Dutch into Swedish. But I got the impression that the Swedish Google translation is terribly bad and it might be better to use English (as I did in the past in my contacts on Swedish fora )
So let me restart my issue in English now. Sorry for this.
Some years ago I bought an old Högbo 75 via Dutch e-bay. Recently I got the time to restore it and I decided to do so.
Except technical, I got strongly interested in the history of this nice lathe. The Högbo 75 was imported by the Dutch firm Fred. Ouwerling and Co. most likely just before or during the second World War. For the Dutch market, Ouwerling gave this small lathe the trade name Triton junior.
From an announcement in a German/Dutch newspaper of july 1942 I know that Ouwerling imported also a somewhat larger lathe. under the trade name Triton Senior. Below a copy of the announcement(sorry for the bad quality; it is the best I have).
I know from Dutch archives the firm Ouwerling had contacts with mechanical Industries of Ukraine and with the Baltic States and (indirectly) with Sweden. So this Triton senior might originate from one of those countries or (not likely but possible?) from the Swedish Högboholms Mekanista Verkstad,(the manufacturer of the Högbo 75)

Does somebody of you recognise this Triton Senior? Centre height:200 mm; distance between centres:1000 mm; spindle bore: 44 mm.
I also started a search to find out more about the Swedish manufacturer Högboholms Mekanista Verkstad who made the Högbo 75. (according to http://www.lathes.co.uk/ )
Is there anything about Högboholms Mekanista Verkstad in thef the LUNA-catalogues you know of? and if so in which issues? Anyhow I am interested in any anecdote about these lathes and its manufacturer(s)
Kind regard
