Comments:

I responded to an ad on craigslist. The owner had it for 5-6 years, and never done anything with it. After calling Eagle Machinery, it originally shipped to a pattern shop in Houston, Texas. It originally had a 5HP, 600 RPM Howell motor. An electrical issue forced me to replace the motor with a modern 3HP/1160 RPM motor that I run with a VFD.

The lathe was very well tooled, and took about 4 months to restore.
