Sheldon lathe

I've had a few sheldons. I would jump on it. The 13 is a heavy lathe. Everything sheldon made is heavy. If we're comparing apples to apples I'd take a sheldon over a south bend every time.
 
Hi Derrick,
go get her!
i saw her, and if i had room- she'd already be on a trailer :)
 
I think I can find room for it, if it's still there and looks in good shape I'll get it .
Guy said it was used for polishing SS tubes by hand, so it has polishing compound all over it and he didn't want to run the slides without cleaning and oiling, he said very little backlash in x slide,
We'll see. He sent me some more pics

I'm thinking the cat# te1236p it's a 12" swing ?

That's a M model. The bottom number is the s/n. Has Timken bearings thats a early 1950s model. Go for it! Oh, the 'E' indicats E drive which i believe is the step pulley and may have a two speed motor if you're lucky.

Go to the Sheldon Lathe group on Yahoo to get more information. Better yet, look at our group here!

if he didn't run the carriage and cross slide the lathe may be ok.
you can always get another chuck or some jaws and a good clean up may turn the lathe into a workhorse again
