I purchased it from Chicago Craigslist . It came with no banjo or tool rest. I was given turning tools and two old motors. I replaced the bearings. Purchased a new old stock sheet metal stand modified with 1 inch square stainless steel tubing.The tubing off sets the lathe to allow the belt to connect to the DC variable speed controlled 1\2 hp motor. The 1 inch square tube is welded to the horizontal tube and mounts the motor. The lathe runs very well. I have turned 12" bowls and smaller items. I do not have the original banjo I use what I believe is a delta banjo. I use Love this machine.
