Pictures I did a bit of work on that I stole from Facebook.? As you can see by the end gears they are in really great shape.? Also the lathe is in original finish though very dirty and has some rust to be taken care of.? I will be working with the owner to help him bring this lathe back to usefulness. If you look you can see the riser blocks under the head stock and tail stock. As near? as I can tell the saddle and apron and all of the bed head stock and tails stock are original to the Lot 2.? The end door cross slide and compound slide are from a Lot 4.? The end door has the patent tag on it with the 1916 date so these parts are from a much later lathe.? Also not the original oil cup covers on the spindle bearings.? Its to bad that the original parts did not come with the lathe.? It was found at an estate sale and purchased I think he said for $50.? If you look at the screw in bushing that holds the cross slide lead screw you can see that a flat has been machined on the top of the original bushing so the Lot 4 cross slide will clear it. Behind the lathe you can see part of the original overhead countershaft that has been setup as a horizontal unit.? The bearing standards and cone pulley are original to the lathe. The second picture shows the end of the front bed way with Lot 1 stamped and the letter N with a very small 0 and number 4.? I am going out on a limb here and say I don't think the spindle has ever been taken out of the head stock casting.? This lathe would have been? built in very early 1913.? Dennis
