OK, he posted a pic. Need more pics, or more info.

More importantly, why was his thread locked?

I was wondering that as well. Did I miss something?

I moved the pic from the duplicate thread so the pic was in the same thread as the question and to make it easier to help him out with the ID of the lathe.

Makes sense - timing is everything.

That is a very interesting lathe. Sorry I can't help ID it.
