Found this lathe on CL. The nice widow of a hobbyist machinist was clearing out his workshop. The lathe came with a lot of tooling, reamers and chucks. She couldn't find the original owners manual when I purchased the lathe but, subsequently, mailed it to me. I'm carrying on his hobby and enjoy using the lathe. Unfortunately, the spindle was bent but, after replacing, the lathe works fine.

Update 3/14/14: Now the 10-F TH42 is a TH54. Found a NOS 54" bed locally. Picked up the correct sized rack and lead screw off of BOYD and I now have a larger sized lathe with a pristine bed. The old bed ways were definitely worn.
