Notes:	Source=Owner's submission. Nice South Bend Lathe. Bought it second hand. Ordered a serial card from Grizzly Equipment. They are now in control of South Bend files. Currently just changed out the 3 phase to a 1 phase motor. Next week move it to it final place in my shop. Would love to strip it down and re do it. Though not sure if I could dedicate required time to that right now. Seen it done, they look Awesome! Just takes quite amount of time. Looking forward to my first job with it.
