Found it on Craig's List in 2014. Bought it from a man in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It was his brother's. Found it stored in a leaky barn. It was in rough shape. I disassembled it down to the last little nut and bolt. Had to replace many small items, but found them readily available on e-bay. Took two years to disassemble and rebuild. It is very accurate. I have no trouble getting to within 0.001". I have collected practically every accessory which Atlas sold for this lathe. I have also gotten a few modern accessories: like a 5C collet check and a radius cutting tool holder.
