Comments:

I acquired this machine on January 4, 2005 for $350. It came with 26 different gouges/skews, etc., several face plates, chucks, centers, and tool rest. The motor is an old GE 3/4 hp. The stand was custom made - I repainted the stand, but have not decided whether I'm going to repaint the lathe.

The spindle bearings appear to be new, but they were installed impropery, casuing .015" play in the horizontal direction. After placing the shim washers on the inside of the bearings, all works remarkably well!
