Notes: Source=owner’s submission. Owner’s comments: This lathe had been in service with the government from 1968 until I purchased it in 2012. It was in near mint condition except the cross feed nut & screw was worn out. It came with a lot of attachments including a complete Rubber Jacobs collet set, an extensive set of ALORIS quick change tool post and tools, a complete set of those cherished metric gears and too many other goodies to list. The 6 drawers are packed full. Complete Machine Info?
