I just joined the club. I picked up this 1939-1940 Heavy 10.
It came with 1/2 hp 3ph motor wired up to a VFD plus the original 110v 1/2 hp motor along with the FWD/REV switch (removed when the VFD was installed).
It also came with the taper attachment (telescopic) that was missing part of the mounting hardware so those parts were recreated and the collet attachment, though it’s missing the sleeve.
It has a 3-jaw chuck, tailstock, and has a single tumbler QCGB.
I had to re-think where to put it as my garage has a ramp that I couldn’t get the lathe up and over it. I’m now thinking it should go next to the mill.
I’m contemplating disassembling it to clean it up and replace the oil wicks, as I came across a kit on Amazon.

Anyway, here are some pictures.
