I just brought this one home which I found thru a local Craigslist. The post was for a Delta wood lathe on cast iron legs with a motor, $50.00 I was the first in line this time (that's rare!) The best part is that he was local enough for me to pick up after work! The lathe has a 1"-8 tpi and a morse taper #2. This lathe was completely torn down, sandblasted and refinshed. I have slightly modified the lathe to update it here and there. The headstock is now using modern oil seals and I upgraded the tool banjo with one from a newer 12" Delta lathe. This banjo is the better cam lock design and makes turning a lot nicer. All that is left now is to replace the wooden tops and build the weight box under the lower shelf. Make sure you follow the link below to see the full refurb process.

Here is my web page dedicated to the refurb:
