Comments:

I have no history on this lathe other than I purchased it from a gentleman for 50.00 dollars.
There is a part #48009 on the tailstock, #48005 on the banjo, and #48007 on the tool rest. I believe the elongated diamond on the front of the base has something to do with identification.

Edit - This entry was revised to update the machine specs. The make and model were positively identified as a Darra-James Model 20, with credit given to Mike Levine for the ID. Admin:dg
