well i just finished my 16 inch restoration a few months ago and stumbled upon this 14.5 in. model built between 55 & 60 with taper att. , full set of collets and a ton of tooling quick change post and 4 chucks and in great shape for 600 bucks

Did you buy it? I have kinda been looking for a nice 13, but if that 14 had come up near me I might consider it because of the taper attachment and tooling. But parts for a 14 can be hard to come buy, it just wasn't as popular a machine for some reason and not as many where made or sold. parts can be found but it takes much much patience. But I would still consider it.

It would seem hard to lose on that machine. SBL seems to be going up in price every time i check.

Also my eyesight is off but it looks to have a center rest as well.
