Comments:
I purchased this lathe about 5 years ago in boxes. I assembled it checking wear as I went along, and it has basically worked trouble free since then. No restoration, just a new motor belt and new wiring for switch and motor. Later upgrades are a new/modified threading dial, toolpost and chucks. I use plenty of lubrication and it holds .001 with ease. Has original motor and reversing switch.
