Comments:

This is the second P&W lathe I acquired of the same model. It is complete with original maple top bench,full set of collets, a couple chucks and various backplates and tooling. Later model than my first one, motor is Master Speed Ranger 3 phase, 3/4 HP, four speed (slow & fast x forward and reverse.) Tiny blue property tag on power switch box says it belonged at one point to Farberware, from kitchen utensils fame.Dirty and grimy as found, started slow restoration process.
