Comments:

My 40H was delivered to an unknown customer 3/31/1948. I acquired it March 9, 2019 and finally completed my restoration (less decals) 8/24/2020. It has the fine spindle power feed option and did not come equipped with power table feed. At some point the original motor was replaced with a 3/4 HP Dayton 120V motor. I added a Bijur one-shot lubrication system and plan to add power feed on the X axis and a DRO in the months ahead. For now it will be nice to have it usable and back to work. I bought it because it was the right size for my limited space, and I expect it to work very well.
