Comments:

I have acquired this lathe from a gentleman in Cumberland, Ontario, Canada, near Ottawa. The lathe came missing the machine tag, book rest, and lower shelf, but other than that it is in fairly complete condition. The original 1hp 3phase motor was changed to a 1hp 1phase motor from Leeson. I hope to someday buy an original 3phase motor and run it on single phase via VFD. also want to complete it with the missing parts and restore the paint, but that may take a while!
