Looks like it needs a good clean up but has chucks and steady rests.

Hmmm .... If you want a small lathe looks like a bargain to me. Much like the two I already have! LOL

When I inquired I told him he should ask $1000 he never replied back, and then we had a real good conversation in my head about buying it and fixing it up and reselling it but in the end I want to continue to improve my skills on the lathe and as fun as that would have been it would cut into that time so I breathed a sigh of relief when I see now its SOLD

Same as my Grandfather’s lathe this one has the Qc gearbox though and looks like he changed to v belts.

Yea good eye I didn't notice that its very similar to the one I used at work gulp 30 years ago I was a lot more rammy back then I would hate to remember the the abuse I did to that poor lathe.

Yeah at that price things last minutes.

I have a SB parts manual that shows the machine available in flat belt and v belt configuration so it looks like you had a choice when buying new.
Didn't expect it to last long at that price.

Interesting does it show for what years It was available?

The one manual I have is a US Army Tech manual dated Dec 1980 and the other I think is 50's or 60's,,,,,, ish.
Both manuals cover 9 and 10 inch models.
