Comments:

Bought the lathe from the grandson of the original owner in November of 2025. It came with all sorts of documentation from the original owner. It was initially sold to a machinery dealer in San Francisco (Riley Precision Tool Co), which then I believe sold it to the original owner. Then he must have moved to Arizona at some point based on the address of some of the later paperwork. It then ended up in Fort Worth, Texas which was where I purchased it, just a couple of blocks from where I lived at the time. It came with plenty of tooling and looked well cared for. I have yet to get it set up and running.
