My Model A (9 Inch Model A, s_n 38987NAR9, CL644A, 4-2-1956) spinning this weekend for the first time in my 30 year ownership (don't ask!). Note the added rear dovetail (previous owner) and mount for cut off blade (which I have).

Here is my SB Heavy 10 Tool Room Lathe (my little buddy always wanted )
I picked it up in June .. turn key... pretty much got all the fixings with it . To date only needed to replace a cross feed nut ... I believe 1963 is the year by cereal # . I thought with suffix X it was flame hardened ways but its not, for that year meant extra features/ options purchased w/ lathe. O well wut ya gona do? ..... its not in bad shape tho runs smoothe , and tight , has a nice gear box lota range like 4-460 TPI . Sure I find something to do with it . fur now Im content w/ it

I bought my 9A last June, but just recently got it set up in my shop. It was made in 1963 and I bought it from the original owner. It came with a ton of accessories and tooling.

That's a really clean, as-factory 9A, Vince! Looks like that lathe was well maintained. Nice Eagle oilers, too, but you are going to need a bigger shelf.

Love that out rigger countershaft stand. I'd only seen them in old literature before.

Ye you don't see them often at all. And not a lot a info on the interweb either.
