Can you help me identify my lathe as to year of mfg. It has the quick change box and is at least 36" between centers. At the end of the ways are the markings SBF 419 on the other way is the number 113557 jan Also anyone know where I can find a Mill attachment?
 
Lefty-
I just bought a 9" Model A
S/N 113365
According to the helpful folks at LeBlond it shipped 6/5/41 to Clark Machine Company in Rahway, NJ.
Our S/Ns are close enough they can't be more than a few weeks different in age.
Any ideas on what "J.A.N." means? Mine has the same letters stamped on the bed, just below the S/N.
 
J.A.N. would be the initials of the person at SBL who scraped your bed.

I'm no expert, but have seen people ask Rose similar questions in the past and that was her answer.
