Sometimes the tool Gods smile on you and somthing wonderful drops into your lap. I found this machine via Craigslist in Holly Michigan near Flint. It had ben partially restored, the motor was upgraded to a 3/4 horse. After about a year I finally got it restored. New bearings in the headstock. The spindle is upgraded to a Delta 1460, and the variable speed drive was replaced with a new one from Hi-lo company. New belts, all diled in and working beautifully. Sold this machine 3-10-19, didn't use it enough to justify owning it.

Comments: Early cast iron base, orange badge. Don't ever lose the nut that secures the VS handle. It's 1/2-24 and is non existent in your local hardware. You can order it on line, some companies reproduce it because it was used on 1930's Indian Motorcycles

Comments: Brass tag on the end of the bed. Due to W.T. poor serial number system I can only guess it's age between 1941-46. I believe there must have been a slight redesign in 47, as the last 2 digits of later machines Ive seen is 47, and the bases have a cast W.T.
