I purchased this machine from a school auction in Columbus, OH. The machine was intact minus the front handle/knobs for the feed control and the belt tensioner. I have replaced the handle/knobs temporarily while I am looking for the OEM parts. I painted it white with Sherwin Williams industrial enamel color matched to my Jet 18" bandsaw. Inspiration came from David Edgerly's beautiful J-170 lathe.
