??? ??? If it was the guy selling " these other ones instead "
telling im they can't be fixed I'd be lookin for a second opinion
. More pics could help identify also he could post the pics over
in SD forum on the Practical MAchinist forums .

Cost to repair is not a concern for many people.? If you do your
own repairs the cost is much lower.? I traded off a lathe years
ago that was missing the tailstock, could have made a much
better deal with a tailstock of any condition.
I'm not good at identifying old South Bends. A friend of mine
has this lathe and another he will probably scrap. He already
got rid of a tail stock. He was told it would cost to much to
repair, but you can buy one of these other ones instead. I have
not seen them in person yet and have no serial numbers off the
bed. I can see it has the single tumbler gear box and looks to
be a 9" but that's it for me. If you live in the Southern
California area (Burbank) they will probably be available. I
know you guys will know what this is. I do have a few other
pictures but they don't show much.
