All these wonderfully looking lathes!!! I have been working on getting a 1937 heavy 9 SB lathe to working order for the last 3 months. I am now down to a door gear guard door and a 24 T gear for proper working condition, been using a 48 T and everything else works great but for theading. I have some pictures but still working on getting them on this site. I have made many parts and want to share them with everyone, my lathe is not great looking yet, but that will come. Thanks for sharing all these great pictures that keeps me working hard and for all the advice that you have send me. I would still be no where with out this SITE and ALL Of THE GREAT PEOPLE HERE!!!

My 9" SB Model A

According to the serial number:
- 9" swing
- quick change gear
- friction feed apron
- regular spindle hole
- standard swing
- underneath motor drive (UMD)

Since these photos were taken I've added a quick-change tool post (Aloris clone) and have picked up some additional tooling.

This is my Heavy Ten. It's a 1942 tool-room with a 4 foot bed and taper attachment.

Not a good representation of the lathe I think I reduced the file size too much, but you get the idea.
