Regardless of its age, this machine is in exceptional condition appearing almost unused, and is also usable for watch and clock repair since it possesses accessories equivalent to the ones of a modern lathe. The wooden box has been recently lacquered, with a new drawer and handles being made from scratch with a matching kind of wood. Also the cross slide handles were remade using another lathe as template (these are often missing in these machines) and everything else was regulated, cleaned and oiled. Some of the accessories included are: Set of step collets with spindle nose adapter, a set of split chucks, the original cross slide with its toolholder (one toolbit included), a set of runners for use with pivoting and turning, 2 lathe beds, 4 tailstocks, headstock pivot supports, 2 spindles, various box and wax chucks, one special tailstock and a set of centres and rose cutters, some idler pulleys, 2 T-rests with 3 supports (some fit too tight and may need adaptation), saw arbor and table (tight fit), original drawbar, original key for the box. The runners included are visible in the last 3 photos (2 have slight damage, a couple of damaged micro centres won’t be included, the eccentric arbor still includes 1 male and 1 female centre). The photos show how the machine can be set up as a lathe, as a set of turns with the cross slide (similar to a Horia lathe). Having two lathe beds, one could equip two separate set-ups without having to change between the two.
