Mcdougall DT50 Lathe

--------------------------------

This is clearly a late machine - although it appears that it still has the same (or similar) bed dimensions as the L50 models, the headstock, controls, and gear box (particularly the dial type thread selector) are all different. Almost certainly one of the last McDougall models, or a McDougall/VDF model. Different tailstock as well.
