I'd like to introduce myself: I was directed here from a friend, Dan Wyatt. You may recall his beautifully restored giant South Bend lathe.
I found a Heavy 10 on craigslist and picked it up yesterday. It is missing a motor, but I'm ok with that because I plan to add a three phase motor with a VFD. I paid $750 and came home with the following parts, the machine is an earlier single tumbler Heavy 10 with 48" bed and stand and was originally a war effort machine from the USAF, I'm assuming its an early '40's model.
