Estate sale buy for 150. Very little history known about the lathe. Got it up and running using a 1 HP Teco Westinghouse VFD wired to the drum switch. Also put a forward/reverse switch and a potentiometer on it to vary speed. The drum switch can only be changed when the vfd power switch is off. After multiple attempts at finding a spindle adapter one is finally on order from https://bestwoodtools.stores.yahoo.net/prstspadwith.html. It appears to be a 1 1/4 X 10 TPI spindle hopefully it fits. This is the piece of equipment that put me on the hunt for old iron.
