Hello everyone,
Though i'd pop my head in and say hi. I just bought a SB modelA over the weekend. this will be my 4th lathe ( first 2 were HF 8", and the 3rd a logan 200), and I have to say I'm extremely impressed with the quality of this machine. My logan 200 is my go-to lathe at the moment, but this guy may give it a good run once it's refurbished a bit. All the parts are there including an original south bend v-belt. It's even still mounted on a south bend table. It is missing the spindle speed chart on the gear cover. Does anyone know where I could get an original one? It also came with a minimal amount of accessories (3 jaw and drive plate). I don't use my steady rest much on my logan, but when you need one, you need one! Anyone know where to get one of those as well?
So the plan is to, at very least, clean, repaint, regrease and replace the felt oilers. Are there any other good things to replace while I have it all torn apart?
Last question, I've been looking to see what these are actually worth, but besides the few on ebay, i haven't found much information. What do these sell for these days? I need to make sure I got a good deal! haha.
