all in all, not a bad find. she needs a good cleaning, a vfd, the x axis on the dro seems to need some attention. they mentioned it was around 4 thousandths out in runout... i think she is due for a good checkup.

thanks for looking

Hey if they gave it to you for free you got the ultimate deal. The QCTP and other accessories combined with the machine would bave been a 800+ and up dollar investment down here. Congrats.

Rich that's fantastic!! All I know is you're lucky my garage is too full already!! Hah hah!!

All seriousness, you are TOTALLY hooked up man! Look at all those accessories! You are set!!

Here is a link to a PDF of the manual

Here is a link to what looks like closest equivelant current machine:

It looks like a cam lock (D1) style spindle? You are HOOKED UP!!!
I'm glad you have it!
Just the accessories alone are worth a bunch of $$

Thanks Bernie! Ya hooked me up real good :)
I waited there as patiently.as can be for 2.5 hours till this girl finally was lifted out of the basement. That was the first time I saw the lathe. Before that I had only seen some bad cell phone photos.
it will take some work to clean her. Up and make all the adjustments to get her running like new again. A vfd and possibly new scales for.the drop.
Today was better than any çhristmas I have ever had. Vbg

LOVE it. I know what you mean- Cabin Fever Expo was like my Christmas in January (until they moved it to April :)

Rich,

Congratulations! Looks great and the accessories, as many have mentioned, are gold! Free is the ultimate good price, especially when it's working and only needs a few minor tweaks! I'm looking forward to seeing it!
:goodjob2:

BTW... how long did it take you to get it off the trailer and into the garage?

Hey Charlie
I did not get it home till after 3pm... by the time I inventoried my material to build a gantry Crane it was getting late. It will probably take another couple of hours to finish the Crane and pull it off the trailor. Than I need to build a rolling Dolly to put her in place.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
