No. 2 MT; swivels to do big bowls; wood and metal capability. This was originally submitted by Ken Kuster on the Yahoo pictures in 2002. I snagged it cause it was cool. A recent focus on OMC reminded me of this. Here is Ken's submittal-

A few years ago I found this lathe at a yard sale for $50 and have
been slowly re-furbing. Colors are pretty close to original, as the
orange didn't have any other colors underneath.
The owner (really original owner's son) thought the lathe was
manufactured in the 1930's, but wasn't really sure. Calls to OMC
didn't get anywhere. The owner mentioned that a bandsaw was once
part of the machine, mounted on the left.

I also came with a 4 jaw and 3-jaw chuck that have been cleaned up to
good working condition.

Any information or leads would be appreciated!!
