Comments:
Seller was parting out the lathe, but I was able to buy the bed and matching head and tail stock before they were put asunder. I found a couple of original banjos and tool rests elsewhere. The one in the photo has a bronze or brass handle. I suspended the motor (also sourced elsewhere) under the bed, and cantilevered the bench out from the wall.
