Finally found a nice SB 9

[Jmp50]

Picked up this 9A a couple months ago after searching for over a year, supposedly came from a farm.
Came with most everything except the taper attachment. Believe it was made in 1958. Tweeked the chuck, tailstock, gibs and it holds .0003 cutting a 10" brass test bar.

Nice find indeed. It just shows that there are still good machines out there if you have the patience to watch and wait.
Curious about the double switch on the front. Forward and Reverse? Are they wired in such a way as to not do harm if they both get flipped on at the same time?
