So, for a quick background, I have a fairly rare/not often seen lathe, a Reed Prentice 16" lathe. Unfortunately when I bought it, it didn't come with a steady or follow rest. I have a separate thread in my post-history about adapting a different large steady rest for use for a different project (which was great!). Additionally, about 4 months ago, I ran into someone who had the same lathe, AND managed to have the follow rest! He let me take the attached pictures to it.
Fast forward to this weekend. I stumbled upon THIS listing on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/402920061028
The seller doesn't list anything about it other than being a follow-rest.
I bid on it and won (despite the super high shipping!). As far as I can tell, this is the SAME steady rest, right? The casting itself looks dead on! I think I've actually managed to get a follow-rest for my machine! So, anyone want to check out the pictures and listing and burst my bubble?
