Hendeyman,
This lathe I have used at a flooring company I work for. It is in the maintenance department. It has 12 X 30 cast in the bed frame and has a serial number of 37949. The number is stamped on the front side of the way. It also appears just to the right of this number that another number was chiseled off. In the location where I thought the number normally would be between the ways is stamped this: (first line) WOVC (second line) USA 15. I figure this was government bought, like the lathe in the "Hendey help" thread. It sure looks quite a bit like that lathe. This lathe has remains of a taper attachment, but is not all there.
They are wanting to replace it with a new lathe and I might have a chance to purchase it.
