Congrats on the 9A! I said it was sweet but i did not take into account the taper attachment,
threading dial, micro stop, steadys, centers and all the other original parts i will never be able to afford.
The added safety provided by the belt guard is nice but with the factory motor cover...
Super sweet. The motor may have 110/220?
If your dad had the original parts book that shipped with the lathe could you please post the Parts list # for me?
The # will be in the top right corner of the booklet.
Here is some PDFs you might be able to use before the cleaning.
IMHO save the "teardown" until after you have test driven it a few times.
(after all, you are missing the tail stock oil dauber!)

Nice lathe, but I'm really impressed by the designer shop wallpaper. Mike

The Motor is a 3/4 HP 110/220, im going to have it wired to 220 when I get it done. I do have the original parts book somewhere but I havent found it yet. I do know its here some place. My dad gave me several boxes of bullet reloading books among other things and i cant find it. Thanks for the links!!

well i started cleaning it up a bit and painted a couple parts. the only thing i have found wrong so far was the bolt that tightens the saddle to the ways was broken and that was an easy fix.



the rest of it seems ok except im gonna have to get one of those rebuild kits to replace the felt, i didnt see any at all in the carriage, maybe i just didnt dig deep enough. probably wouldnt hurt to get them replaced anyway.

here is what she is looking like now




I even gave the light a little makeover too

That lathe sure cleaned up beautifully. Looks like it's ready for another lifetime of service.

Is that lamp original from SB? Did they offer a work lamp for their machines?

Thanks

I really dont know if its an original, it just came with the lathe when dad gave it to me.
