I Really Suck

Now that scoop there, was just slicker than eel snot. From one thrifty iron acquirer to another, a very humble tip of my hat. Cheers, Mike
 
What is the serial number? And where did the machine come from?
 
I recently bought one of those craftsman five gallon bucket vacuums and was very impressed by its suck-ability. You sir, surpassed that level by a mile.

Nice score!

I thought it was impossible to create a total vacuum, but apparently that is no longer true. Very nice.
 
Persistence is the "word of the day" for lathe hunting!
 
According to the counter lady, The owner was a widow who said that it had been sitting in her garage "forever". Yeah, about 40 years.;)

Actually, the most gratifying part of the deal was that, that was the exact same model and era of the lathe I learned on way back in the Seventies. Brings on a lot of good and bad memories.
