Acra Turn PC-36

This machine is likely very similar to the DF1237 that @Dabbler and I own.

Good for you, that will be a good machine to gain experience with. Those Taiwan lathes are quite capable and you may find it will suit all your needs.
What did you get for "stuff" with it, ie 4 jaw chuck, centers?

It’s got 3 - 3 jaw chucks, a nice Japanese 4 jaw, a faceplate and live centre.

Lots of tooling. Great haul!

Even comes with a crankshaft!

Let the chips fly, Looks like you have everything needed to get started.
Not sure where the hook wrenches come in but maybe you have ER collets in your future.

Dollars to doughnuts the hook wrenches are for spindle bearing adjustment. Though there's only one in the pic so <shrug/>

Forgot about those, sounds about right.
If you enlarge the picture it looks like two wrenches stacked.

Yes, I see there are two. definitely for spindle bearing adjustment. Me? I caveman'ed it with punches. Heathen.

You remind me of the commercial where they got such a good deal the wife was shouting "Drive! Drive" to get out of the parking lot! It is an updated version of our machines, for sure. Those chucks are very nice looking indeed! Well done!
