I recently picked this up at a local auction thinking it was a table lathe. Caked in hardened grease and mud dobber nests it was froze solid. Not wanting to admit I just bought another hunk of junk I wrestled it apart, soaked and blasted it clean, then repainted to match my shop vac. My reputation is somewhat restored as this thing actually works. Seems the only part missing is the crank handle. If you have been reading through this hoping to learn something I can imagine how dissapointed you must feel. I've searched the net over and can not find even a mention of a #50. All I have to offer at this point is photographic evidence that the rumor is true...the #50 does exist!
