South Bend 9A restoration happening w/pics!!

Probably cost him 1/3 of what he was asking to ship it to you.
What do you figure, if anything, the extra "wonderful" stuff that came with it worth?
 
That seller knew exactly what he had (or didn't have)
 
Finally got it off the truck and threw that "wonderful" table in the trash. Primed and painted the QCGB and put the gears on the tree for safe keeping and organized. I think I have a couple gears in wrong spot and will have to verify before assemble.

Wow, that's quite a transformation! Well done :encourage:
 
Damn, I wish I had seen this before you took the plunge. I had actually seen that lathe on FB before and the guy is about 35 miles from me and I would have been happy to check it out for you. I have only dealt with him once and he ghosted me after I showed interest in an item he had listed on CL. He sells lots of machines but I will be wary of him since the first incident and now this.

Definitely file a complaint with ebay, he needs to make this right.
 
Can someone verify my gear placement and orientation on the tree? Pretty sure right side is correct but left side is worrysome. The 20 tooth gear has a slot but no key to fit into.

Is my gear orientation correct for the tumbler?
