I have had this treasure for a long time and I hate to see it go, I have several lathes but this by far is my best. I think this lathe is in fantastic condition with no rust or corrosion and no damage, there are just a few very minor scrapes and marks from normal use. Lathe comes with all of its original Boley levers and tightening knobs, even still has the spring. You can loosen the knob and switch from the tool rest to the matching cross slide in just a matter of seconds. All parts of this lathe slide on and off as smooth as silk, it is truly a joy to use. The kendrick and Davis motor is also in exceptional condition and working great. The tailstock is the highly sought after ” collet holding tailstock ” with matching finish. Lathe still has matching base for bench mount set up. High quality motor works great and has a toggle switch at its base, left pos. Is forward, middle pos. Is off and right pos. Power flow and therefore speed is controlled with foot pedal seen in pics. This lathe is ready to use. The reason for this is I do not embellish my descriptions or mislead in any way.
