Hello, I'm new to this forum as well as being new to owning an Atlas lathe. I purchased a TH42 this weekend and have been doing a lot of research on it last week before making the purchase. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can. In the interim, I've begun the restoration process on this lathe. The first photo shows how it looked when I got it home Saturday, and the second shows how it looked as of this morning.
