What's your thread size on the headstock? Once you know that you'll be able to get the chucks and faceplate you need, have a look at the Yandles website Wood Turning Lathes for sale - Yandles or give them a call, they'll be able to help you
Thank you I will have a look
I think you'll find it's 3/4" with 16TPI and same as many record power lathes. Do get a second check as I have only just acquired a coronet myself and at the beginning of a learning curve.
I purchased a record SC4 Chuck for my coronet herald, very pleased with it, secure holding and very easy to use.
Included is a thread insert relevant to your spindle size, you’ll need to select this when you order/select in a store.
(changing the insert allows the chuck to be used on lathes with different spindle sizes)
Can be used with lathe in reverse, just make sure fit the grub screw if you are going to use later in reverse.
I found I very soon wanted some smaller jaws, but apart from that, the SC4 has been money well spent.

Hello Redders
Which model Coronet lathe do you have. If it is an older machine (pre Record Power) what colour is it?

Be careful as some of the older ones were 7/8" x 16.

I've got a blue CL3 dating back to early 90's. Spindle nose is 3/4"x16tpi as mentioned previously, but best to check your own lathe before buying anything! Headstock and tailstock are both 1MT.
I've got a coronet cl3 from the 70s I think. Lovely machine. Mine came with an Axminster clubman chuck which oven found really useful as you can still get the different jaws still from Axminsters website.
