Hi!
This is my first time posting on this forum. I've been a big South Bend fan since the early eighties when I purchased a new 10k for my home workshop. Unfortunately, I sold it when I had to move cross country in 2001, and I've been regretting it ever since. But I was going to be living in an apartment, so I didn't have much choice.
The good news: I've recently purchased a house, and am slowly getting back into the metalworking hobby. In fact, I just bought a 9" Model A from a nice man who also happens to be a member of this forum. It's a pretty old machine, but in very nice condition. I'm picking it up this weekend! In case anyone is curious, here a link to the auction:

What I like about this machine is that it has a 4' bed, and it shows almost no wear. Any opinions?
I'm looking forward to participating here on this forum in the near future. I'm sure I will have questions in getting this vintage machine set up, and maybe at some point I could even offer advice to others.
