Purchased in 1978 from used equipment dealer in San Francisco. Tooling is marked for the California Maritime Academy. Headstock repaired after purchase; sleeve bearings rebored true and pulley shaft bearing surfaces spray metalized and reground. In regular use in my shop, mostly bowl and duplicate spindle turning. Any thoughts about date of manufacuter?
