Here's more pictures of the lathe as the restore is in progress.Bill Thomas contacted me about this might be a Type "B"lathe as it is similiar to his lathe.Their is some differences between the two lathes but they are very similiar too.Bill's lathe has a 24"swing where my has at least a 32"swing but up to 35" (it is 17 1/2" to the closest part of the bed from center of the shaft.)The Oliver name is cast more to the left on the headstock on my lathe then on Bill's or maybe my headstock is longer (30").The wording on the headstocks are different also.
