Comments:

I purchased the lathe, motor and turning tools for $75 and did a full restoration on the machine/tools. I didn't touch the motor besides cleaning the outside and painting it + rewiring/adding a switch. This thing turns very smoothly with no vibration/wobble and I can't wait to put it to use after many years of being neglected!

Comments: Original condition. Tailstock was rusted stiff but everything else was in pretty good condition underneath all the rust/paint.
