Acquired as a gift in very rough shape. Overhead drive from ceiling originally. We had to mfg. a drive system and recondition. Rebuilt motor and rewired for forward and reverse. Ways are in very good condition. We are still acquiring the necessary change gears to make this thread properly. Made new gibbs for compound and crossfeed. Many Many thanks to Uncle Russ for the continual help and encouragement. Thanks for looking.
