My SB 10K was shipped to the original owner in the fall of 1974.
This thread was originally from over a year ago, but I thought it would be interesting to show a picture of the lathe as it is now, fully "grown-in" to it's spot in the shop.
The SB 10K has been the perfect lathe for my use and I'm glad I bought it.
I got the dial indicator idea from Doubleboost on Youtube. There's lotsa good ideas on his channel like the way-protector board hanging by the outlet. Another handy, simple tool is a ball bearing pressed onto a shaft which is used to straighten-out work in the chuck. I believe in his last Sunday night update he described this tool again as he made another one for his new lathe.
Nice. My 10K is a 1972 3-1/2 footer. Looks almost identical except it has the locking knobs on the drawers.
Mine also still has the original rubber/fabric belt. After 40 years it's still in great shape.
