I'm submitting these pictures for lathe owner Dave Gallagher of Ohio. He found and restored this version of the No. 51-A with the single-phase, electro-mechanically variable speed, Type II Kimble motor. If you've never seen one of these running with the dome cover removed to show the spinning "flyballs", then you're missing out!
