Finally got a lathe, Harrison L5A

After a year and a half search I finally found a lathe in great shape for a good price. The son of the owner messaged me saying his father has a Harrison he would like to sell. I contacted the father whom was also a millwright, after an hour on the phone I drove an hour to view it. It came from a high-school, then a doctor owned it to make sail boat parts, then the seller acquired it, now me. The ways have minimal wear, 20210123_142819.jpgIt has a bunch of original documents including the inspection certificate!

If you were in Calgary, Tom Kitta has 15 of everything for anything, he must have an 4j that will fit. ;)
The L nose chucks don't come up very often but someone here must have a lead on one for you.
