Hi everyone! New southbend owner here. Just picked up a 1938 9" model c with 4.5" bed, as far as I can tell. Serial # 82366. Came with a quick change collet holder and 14 3c collets and a boatload of tooling and accessories.
Previously owned for over 40 years by a machinist and in great shape for her age. Will need to do a light rebuild as it sat for a number of years, but still had free movement of components and slick to touch.
Already replaced the wire as it crumbled upon disassembly for transport, but don't feel comfortable with condition of wiring in motor juntion, so will most likely upgrade to something a bit newer.
Here's a few pics of my new to me machine-
