Another Model 9A is back up

My father gave me this lathe awhile ago but it needed a motor and switch,. Now that my kids are both using mills, lathes, etc... in school for robotics, it was a good time to get this running. I bought a new motor and drum switch (after a lot of research here) and with the help of the folks on the electrical sub-forum here, my son and I got this running today. Lots of cleanup and rerouting of the liquitite to do but its now operational. Based upon the serial number it appears to be a four foot 1953 Model A. Thanks for help so far

Good on you for getting the old girl running again! Very cool.

Lovely old thing - bravo! I own a 3-foot version of the same lathe and love it.
