This is my restored SB9
I added the lever collet closer and a taper attachment. I added a "before" picture.
The lathe was in reasonable shape when I bought it for a 62,year old machine. Still lots of work to take it apart, clean, and paint it. I'm still working on a few of the instruction plates that need restoring.
