I bought this machine in a private sale from a guy in Midland Park, NJ. He advertised it on craigslist, I called him and went to look at in April 2009. He was aksing too much in my opinion, and I let it go. He didn't accept my offer, and I figured it was gone. I gave him occassianal calls over the next several months, and we either played phone tag or someone else was always coming to look at it. After 8-9 months, he called me up out of the blue and said "come and get it". I got it for very close to my price offer, and I was happy. It was pretty complete, but was missing the 2 tool rest holders and 90 dgeree rest, which I bought from Chuck Hess. I am still looking for a double post tool rest. It came with all the other accessories it would have had new, and a huge 4 jaw chuck (aluminum thank god). 2 hp 2 speed 208v motor. The lathe was taken care of very well by the pattern shop that bought it originally.
