Seems thats how all the stuff I like these days are going. I have some military vehicles made by Studebaker in south bend Indiana that I have wanted to restore for years. They were made with South Bend Machine Tools which inspired me to get a south bend lathe. Parts prices for historic military vehicles are through the roof as well. While I'm writing here I will post a picture of my lathe. Seems to have all the original stuff like, motor and electrical boxes etc. The ways have some wear. not sure how much yet but the nice thing is there are no ridges on them. The carriage moves back and forth without to much resistance when the carriage lock bolt is tighten down slightly near the head stock. So I am happy with it.
