I would greatly appreciate your assistance in placing a value on a Lathe. I wish to sell it. I live near Portland, Maine.
I have a 3-1/2' Model A which I bought 20-30 years ago from the son-in-law of the first owner. I took it apart when I bought it and painted it very carefully. I am not sure if it is a "Virgin", but it still has what I understood to be called 'frosting' on the ways. There are two tiny nicks (maybe 1/16" and 1/8") on the ways below the chuck. I have used it very little, but I have enjoyed looking at it and using it once in awhile. I believe it to be in excellent condition with no rust and no damage.
It is s/n 157029 with WEF next to the number. It has a metal tag that says it was approved by the War Production Board. I was told that a local machine shop purchased it during the war, so that the original owner could work on it at home for job-related projects.
It is a Bench Top Model, mounted on a new, good wood worktable. It has a GE motor which I believe is original. I re-wired it with top quality wiring when I bought it.
Some of the Accessories:
Taper attachment
2 - 6" #40 South Bend 4-jaw chucks
4" Watson 4-jaw chuck
5" Cushman scrolling 3-jaw chuck, inside & outside jaws
2- Follower rests
