I have come by this old beauty, an underdrive 9A, 1946ish I am guessing.
Yes, it doesn't look like much and is well worn but I intend to polish it up to the best of my ability. (which may not be much)
It came with another complete headstock which appears to be in great shape, photos to follow.
3 and 4 jaw chucks, steady rest, taper attachment and collets.
It also has a coolant system powered by a hoover motor so it is period correct I think if not original to the machine, I'm not sure and plan on removing it.
The price paid was $350 Canadian pesos.
"restoration" under way.
