The finished restoration pictured below. It wasn't just a paint job. Work included New bearings spindle to motor, new belts, I even found the manufacturer of the original reeves drive and replaced it, added a forward reverse switch (not shown) then polished painted and shined it as seen below. It's a fantastic lathe but a bear to restore.
