Comments:
Traded one of my Rockwell lathes 46-450's for this machine. Obtained in Pensacola FL. Poor condition, base rusted out a great deal. The motor had been reworked by professional shop, only thing in good shape. Obtained rollers from other OWWMER (Walnut) from a salvaged machine. Some parts from Powermatic (springs) and after a lot of work, got it going. Great machine, planes well, easy adjustment. Didn't realize it was as old as it is, so not so bad a shape after all.
