Info on this lathe

I don't really see the long bed as a desirable feature. To me one of the major advantages to a 10" lathe is you get a pretty good size swing, power and a decent spindle bore in a relatively compact package since most are 22-24" between centers. If I had room for a machine with 34" between centers, I'd be looking at a more capable 12x36" lathe.

Exactly! If you can fit a 5 foot long machine, I'd rather find a larger one! That said... I found a 9 foot machine with only 30" between centers, so...

In my ideal world a 12x36 lathe falls into my lap.

I saw that late last night. Definitely fits the footprint needs. Nice looking machine.

I got the serial number on this lathe.
Number puts in 1977 or early 1978


Also got some bed pics.
