Comments:
This machine belonged to a gentleman who gave up woodworking for health reasons and sold it to me. He says he bought the lathe new in 1982 and that it was manufactured in Tupelo, MS. It had been kept in a shop out of the weather but it did have some surface rust and needed a good cleaning and painting. The motor runs good and the lathe is strong and solid.

A lot of good tooling came with the lathe:
1. Vega duplicator
2. 22 Robert Sorbey turning tools
3. 6", 12" and 24" tool rest
4. Outboard tool rest stand
5. 3 face plates
