Hello all, resurrected high school industrial arts class machine. Had about a quarter inch of green paint on it,at the end of the school year the shop instructor would have the kids paint all the machines to keep them busy. It kept everything well preserved. Jim

Before and after. This was 3 years ago. I replaced the missing covers since then and have made a lot of chips.

Here she is...circa 1943ish. Just got it about three weeks ago, so I've been redoing the wiring, cleaning, etc. Anybody recognize that micrometer carriage stop on the right? That one came with the lathe and I haven't been able to ascertain whether its original equipment or not. I just picked up the smaller one.

The one on the left is oem, the one on the right probably came off of another brand of lathe, but it would work.

Thanks for the input. I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to do some research as I'd like to sell the larger one and need to determine who to market it to.
