bought this from a machine shop local to my area that was going out of business. Picked it up for 300.00 and a very large Sand blasting cabinet with DC system. I guess I have a lot of parts to clean now. Oh I just picked up a older model 9" with a 48" bed and full assortment of attachments including back gears for screw cutting, knurling tools, cutting tools, original parts manual, volume 32, how to run a lathe, original motor (with original wiring) original switch and original leather belt. OH 200.00 bucks i will be posting pics of that one later.
The Jr is dated somewhere around 1938-40. The 4' is dated somewhere around 1933. I can only keep one.
