A friend of mine recently lost his father who was at the very least a machine shop collector. He had at least two lathes. One is smaller than the other.. Any help identifying it or if anyone is interested in purchasing it. He lives in the Chicago area.
Yes, obviously a 9" South Bend model A, the motor is from a gasoline pump (explosion proof). If the broken parts for the QC box atr missing, it is not worth much, could be parted out.
If you cleaned off the label on the front of the gearbox, it would tell you everything you would want to know about your lathe. It looks like a South Bend 9" Model A with a 3½ or 4 foot bed. It appears to have been dropped and damaged. The full extent of the damage won't be known without a complete teardown.
