Bought it from fellow in Lynn, MA, who said he bought it from the GE jet engine plant in same town when they started downsizing. Found as shown in pics, came with a complete set of collets, 6" chuck, bearing(s) were replaced by PO. Transmission needs work. Plan is to simply mount it to a bench with a variable speed motor. Power to spindle is via 4 skinny belts (4L like.) Shortly after I bought this I picked up another one, later serial number, also submitted to photo index.
