Comments:

I bought this lathe on E-bay last spring from Tim Croan on Long Island, NY. It is ready to run, the bearings are smooth and tight. It is great to have the jack shaft with the matching pulley, to mount overhead. It even has those nifty little "boats" hanging below each bearing to catch any oil that drips. It is missing one drive pulley (either the fast or loose) and the forks to shift the belt from one to the other.

Comments: Since there is no lower shelf, I guess those shelf brackets are to hold accessories.
