I found this lathe and wondering if anyone had any info about these models. A search here didn't return anything,

I bought a 6913 with taper attachment, steady rest, Aloris with 3 holders, collet bar,, full set of 5c collets, face plate, 3jaw chuck.
Mine was well used, (worn). I had to replace the lead screw, lead screw support bushings, worm, worm bushing, worm key, 1/2 nut, turn hand wheel shaft on apron and bush housing, tail stock key(special part had to make), replace several ball oilers, strip and repaint everything, make new shelves for cabinet, machine a new back gear driver pin(previous owner made a funky one out of a trailer hitch pin, replace both clutch lever handles, replaced thread chart placard. The ways are worn in the chuck area, and should be reground. Quotes are from $2500-$15,000 to rebuild them. I am going to use it like it is for a while. I paid $4,000 for it, sight unseen off an equipment sales online! I paid too much!
They say "you learn from your mistakes"...I must be a genius!
