Now that scoop there, was just slicker than eel snot. From one thrifty iron acquirer to another, a very humble tip of my hat. Cheers, Mike

What is the serial number? And where did the machine come from?

I recently bought one of those craftsman five gallon bucket vacuums and was very impressed by its suck-ability. You sir, surpassed that level by a mile.

Nice score!

I thought it was impossible to create a total vacuum, but apparently that is no longer true. Very nice.

Persistence is the "word of the day" for lathe hunting!

Make sure you go to church and repent for that one...

Good score.

According to the counter lady, The owner was a widow who said that it had been sitting in her garage "forever". Yeah, about 40 years.

Actually, the most gratifying part of the deal was that, that was the exact same model and era of the lathe I learned on way back in the Seventies. Brings on a lot of good and bad memories.

Randy, great score. Be sure to show her off after you get her all cleaned up.
