Well Done, Ben...
You are likely the most knowledgeable person in the world on Moody lathes...

Yes, and here I am lurking with my Moody in the dock for a possible future restore...and only an hour or so away from you Ben to boot
Here's a couple of shots of it I have saved on the computer before I moved it out of it's former home where it was a steady user. Still unsure as to it's fate...it remains a good steady user as is but I'm sure me or a future owner will be wanting to bring her back to full glory someday. For now it is content to toil away unmussed without any make-up.

I don't know how many of these they sold out of La Belle Province back in the day but they sure seem to have passed the test of time. I guess when you clone a SB 9 and then make design and build improvements on top of that you end up with something pretty good.
It would be nice if you ran a thread here on the restore as well. I would love to follow along and this would be a great place to share what you learn along the way. There's not many of those lathes out there and people could learn from your experiences with it.
Are you still working on your Moody lathe, I just picked one up and I think it has been butchered somewhat. I have two big issues:You're right, I will continue to post progress on this thread. Maybe easier for people to understand than starting a new one.
