Notes: |
Source=Owner's submission. Owner's notes: Purchased this machine and a lot of spare tools in March 2021. Apparently it was her deceased father's and he was a machinist professionally for Ampex when he retired.
Some of the accessories are more change gears and extra gear stud spacers, a milling attachment, a three jaw center support, I see a drive-dog type plate for the headstock, but no drive dogs. I also have the change gear cover and mount, but I had to make a new clamp plate for it.
The motor is a little suspect. Likely a vintage approximately 1/2 horsepower 110 VAC motor. It is not grounded. There is definitely a little bit of a struggle getting everything spinning, so I'm going to start off by cleaning up the ways and adding a little fresh lubrication to the various shafts and spindles. |
