Found another old Sheldon in my lathe search. Now trying to determine model and value.

Looks like the old gal still has some life left in her. Did you get some tooling also? Did it come with a four jaw chuck also?
Cheers

One 3 jaw and one 4 jaw chuck and a steady rest. It maybe a couple days before I get it unloaded but I'll post up pics. I'm excited. This is my first real lathe. I honestly have no clue how to use it Can't wait to learn.
 
This old can of cutting oil was in the cabinet. So old it has metal cap.

I bought this at a gateway mission thrift store. Basically a goodwill store!!!IMG_3894.JPGIMG_3892.JPGIMG_3893.JPG
 
Well it's going to need a new motor. The case on this one is busted and the data plate is missing :(

Actually not that bad, gives you a chance to purchase a three phase mptpr and power with a VFD for variable speed. The difference was night and day for my Seneca Falls Star 9X5.
