Comments:
Purchased at estate sale, Cleveland Tennessee September 19, 2020. Was used as a woodworking lathe in wood shop. I believe it to be a Franken Lathe. The serial card lists it as a 405Y, and shows that in 1959 some of the parts were changed out, presumably by South Bend. See serial card for details.
