Hey all!

It's a little late but two and a bit weeks ago we had our new (to us) Holbrook C10 delivered. Since then I have been giving it a bath and changing the oils while we had the electrics all sorted out - shoutout to @Janger for the recommendation on an electrician. Well this past week we finally got it all squared a way and got it running and wow i think i may be in love. 3500 lbs of British machinery with a serial number that dates the machine to 1964.
Anyways below are some photos, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

All of the information plates were cast... they are beautiful:

Oh that looks like fun indeed! And also the first lathe I’ve seen with SFM on a machine tag. What a novel idea.

Oh man is that ever nice! I know nothing about them but I can tell by looking at it I would love it. That is art and science beautifully co-mingeled together.
