CL buy. The bed is 48" long, there are no tags on it, but maybe a casting number somewhere? The "craftsman" lettering is raised, cast into the front of the bed. "12" Ball Bearing" is cast into the open framed headstock. It dosnt look like it ever had a cover over the pulleys.
Wen I went to buy it, the owner had gotten it through family, said it had sat as is for 12 years. He plugged it in and promptly let a lot of smoke out of the motor :(
The shaft is 1" 8tpi threaded, it came with a couple faceplates, a short, and a long toolrest, a spur drive and a tailpiece, a box of craftsman chisels.
