Just a couple pics of my old Walcott.Ive owned it for around thirty five years.Im the second owner! It was bought new for the local railroad roundhouse machine shop.I got it for $200 Everything works,both feeds and four speeds for the feed.back gear,and a four speed trans in the drive motor.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgSorry for the poor pics just not enough lights in that room.
 
Take the photos at a different time of day. The digital camera 'sees' the light from the windows and that is why the subject, the lathe, is dark.
Bright Light, get thee behind me when taking photos!

Thanks John,nice find.Built just down the road.For some reason the railroad cheaped out and ordered this one without a threading gearbox.Although it does have four speeds of feed.Its been a real horse in my shop for years.now that I've retired I've got to rehab it one more time before passing it on:)
