This lathe was another CL find back in June 2009 in Montgomery, OH. Was in seller`s garage shop and neglected for a few years. Restored it back in 2011 to All Original condition, well, from what I could find out in some catalog`s. This lathe required some special NLA bearing`s for the head stock spindle but was lucky to find some that the i.d. of bearing needed to be opened up on Jig Grinder to fit original dimension`s. I went a step further and tried my hand at duplicating the "engine turn finish" WT liked to do and guessed at the 18" -24" tool rest`s from just the small catalog picture`s.
