Thank you all for the feedback. There are apparently different Junior lathes going back in time. My machine is an early
version of the 9-C, B, and A people normally see. Back then they had lathe numbers like mine as "22-R" that indicated bed size.
Also the guards were different shaped back then. With oilers above the main spindle bearings. May not be many around these days...
so check in if you have one or worked on years ago...
