From Ebay:
Oliver #25-A pattern makers wood lathe. Bed ways and motor shaft are tight and in good shape. The ruler numbers on the bed and cross feed are very ledgible. Has factory four jaw chuck. Everything including the motor is free. I have not wired this up so i am not sure of the running condition. This machine came from an Air Force base and looks to have been used very little unlike a factory machine. It has always been stored inside. The pictures show it has surface rust due to beeing stored in a non climate controlled building. This comes right off with a wire brush and it is not scaled or pitted. Machine is complete except for the quill is missing from the tailstock. There are no attachments. Here are some specs and dimensions. 440 volt, 3 phase motor; 4 speed motor with speeds of 565,1150,1760,3450 RPM; 60" between chuck face and tailstock; 22" swing, there has been a 3" riser block added to the motor and tailstock and it can be removed; 8" diameter 4 jaw chuck; 1" thru hole in chuck and motor shaft; total length is 8'3"; total height 52"
