Hello, I'm new at this so I'm a little confused as to how this works. I bought a Lodge Shipley lathe from a guy I met for 500. He was going to sell it for scrap. It is really dirty and caked with dried grease and oil but, as near as I can tell everything works. It will swing 19 inches over the ways. Maybe 20. It is about 3 ft. between centers. The serial number is 27496. I saw a picture of it in Machinery volume 28 for a 1921 lathe. The only differance is mine has a motor, which is single phase, mounted above the gear box. Does anyone have any info on this lathe? Thanks in advance for any help.
