I picked this up for a very attractive price at the 2009 Arnfest. It came with lots of extra goodies, including a steady rest, a 4" rest, a 12" rest, a 24" rest, and a fancy curved rest that looks like it would work great for turning bowls. The headstock does not have a threaded arbor, but a 1/2" shaft with a flat, like another on the Photo Index. It came with several items that can be attached to it, including a couple of spur centers, a Jacobs chuck, a few plates, and a neat coned sanding thing. I had thought that I would repaint it, but I like the original finish and will likely just clean it a little. I really like the decal. It's not as pristine as some I've seen, but it is in pretty good shape.

Comments: Another view. This shows the silly surplus computer table I mounted it on while awaiting the chance to build a proper table for it.
