I sure hope someone can help me out here. I just looked at what appears to be a 14x36 lathe produced in the 30's (couldn't find the serial number). It has the old cone type pullys and has about a 3/4 Hp factory drive system. It appears fairly tight with a minimum of slop in the screws/nuts and not much wear on any ways. It runs quietly and all feeds engage properly. It's equipped with chucks; a 6" 3 jaw, 12"
4 jaw, steady and follow rests and complete taper attachment and a whole batch of cutting tools and holders. Although it has a great selection of change gears it has no threading dial; can it still be used for threading? The lady who owns it is asking $600.00 which seems rather steep to me but??? Thanks for any help you all can give me.dennis in nca
