On my drive home last night, I took a slight detour on a frontage road of the highway I travel daily. And low and behold I spot this big old lathe sitting out in a gravel parking lot. Naturally I pulled over and got out to take a closer look... Compared by 12x36, this thing was pretty big. I'd guess at least a 16x60? I can't find another pic of one like it...
Probably because it looks like it was an old line drive setup with an electric conversion put on the top powered by a 3HP 220v GE motor (that spun rather freely).
Anyone know anything about it? If nothing, I might snag the motor and barrel switch off of it. Everything else seemed seized up.
