Hello all,
I have been lurking on here for a little while and am very impressed by the wealth of knowledge here. Well, I just bought a 16x54 Axelson from the TVA at auction. I ran several engine lathes in a "past life" my favorites being two American Pacemakers. This machine reminds me of them to a degree. I am wanting to figure out what year it was built as well as any history on it. No one at the shop where I picked it up knew a whole lot about it other than it has clutch problems. They were using a bungee cord to hold it in engagement. It has been out of service about two years and has some minor rust. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

P.S. I will post some pictures, once I figure out how.
