I bought this lathe 7 years ago from a pattern shop in Norwich,Ct. and sold it to a farmer friend of mine in the summer of 2004, twenty miles from my house.It has sat in the same place next to his driveway since then,I have reacquired it from him in Oct.2010.The first picture is the lathe as i found it and the rest are of the lathe on my trailer in my driveway.The lathe is complete with both floor plates,headstock,tailstock,crosslide,6",18",30"face plates,three toolrest and toolrest holder,lots of tooling,boring bar,cutters,holders ect.There is a picture posted on this site of the lathe as it appeared on E-Bay for sale.The lathe is being restored this Nov.2010 to be put back in service at a pattern shop in Chattanooga,Tenn.The lathe has a Reeves vari drive that was installed by the Pattern shop in Norwich,Ct.(0 to 1725 RPM's).It will do 8 ft. between centers.
