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.

OK here are the pictures for the outside lathe with no serial numbers or tail stock (anymore)
