Comments:
This lathe was listed on eBay in the Spring of 2004 and is suprisingly complete. While the lathe cabinet was constructed of wood, the lathe bed was a dovetail-profiled casting that ran it's length. The headstock, toolrest socket, and tailstock all used a tapered gib-locking arrangement to securely position them as they were slid along the lathe's ways.
