I had the good fortune of having dinner with an aunt and uncle as they were headed for their wintering grounds in the southwest. we met them at their hotel and had dinner. my uncle said he had something for me to look at while we were eating but wouldn't say what it was. i figured it was some cool new gadget he had or maybe he had something he needed fixed or who knows with him, could be just about anything...
after we finished dinner we had a couple drinks and talked for a couple hours.
i dropped them back off at the hotel and wished them a happy trip south.
my uncle said to pull up to his rig, so i did. i asked what'dya got??
he said i think you can use this more than i can...
and proceeds to hand me a well preserved 1949 model 109.21270 also known as the Craftsman 80 lathe."jawdrop:
it was manufactured by the Dunlap Corporation for Sears & Roebuck Co..(correction - Mfg by Double A Products--- thanks CluelessNewB)
the model was made for only one year come to find out.
it came with a 1/4 hp 1725 rpm 115v a/c motor
3 drive face plates 3.5" diameter
2 mt #0 dead centers
1 mt #0 live center
3 drill chucks- 1 keyless, 2 keyed type mt #0
4 jaw independent chuck 3" diameter w/ original wrench
full set of threading gears, never have been used
3 lathe dogs
1 mt1 work arbor
knurling tool
misc tool box goodies.
i was so excited to see it, it felt like Christmas in October!!!
i loaded up and thanked him for the new toy

i got it home and immediately started looking at http://www.lathes.co.uk/craftsman/page4.html
to figure out what i got.
