This lathe was purchased by the Perth Amboy, NJ, Board of Education on 6/11/71 for $1225.50. I purchased it from and electrical contractor who had received it for cleaning up a job. The only changes made during restoration include: Oliver green instead of grey paint; a VFD bypassing the factory wiring which is still intact; sealed bearings throughout.
