Notes: Source=Owner's submission. Owner's notes: The machine was ordered from Sager-Spuck Supply in Albany NY in May of 2016. On July 17th, 1986, the machine was shipped from SB to NYSDH, New York State Dept of Health, Wadsworth Center for Labs & Research. I acquired machine from original owner in 2015. The machine was ordered with a threaded spindle, taper attachment, New Era Metric/Imperial direct-read dials, Metric transposing gears, two speed 1hp-1/2hp motor, lever collet closer (which was since sold), all on a 4-1/2 foot bed. Buying from the original owner, it is nice to get the "folio" of original paperwork etc for the purchase of the machine, including order cards, hand written pre-purchase notes, and even a mechanical drawing of the machine layout and shop floor space req'd etc.
