thanks for that catalog.

You are welcome!

I love seeing the history of these older machines.

Grizzly bought Southbend. If you want to spend $25 to see more history, you can get a copy of the original purchase card for your serial number at:

I always kinda thought it would be neat to laminate it and hang it by the lathe.
I never bothered as I'd rather spend it on tooling and stock, but the option is there.

I also found the official south bend bench that it's still sitting on. Very cool!

Very cool indeed!
